Perhaps pointing these mistakes out to them is verging on the harsh side but for people to learn they must be shown where they are failing. As a competitor though I think it would make more sense not to highlight where they are going wrong as it can only allow them improve in the future whereas by by not showing them you will continue to be superior. I guess that's a pretty selfish view but sometimes you've got to be. I think that by examining the work of others it allows one to see where you can make improvements for the future.

Nice post. Have you checked out prfail.com? I also think that there's potential for some more wins to come out of fails and when I get some free time and planning on getting people;s opinion on what could be on the site. There's also a link there as to my rationale behind setting up the PRFail site in the first place. THough these days, it;s grown a life of its own and the PRFail concept lives as a #tag people find through Twitter, not via the Tumblr site.<br /><br /> Also . . . PR people really shouldn't be making half the sort of PRFails that are *STILL* being flagged by people around the world. It's embarrassing . . ;-) Hi Matt. Nice post. Have you checked out prfail.com?
