The Blog Entry That Started the Debate 

One engaging entry

Tom Foremski, the blogger behind Silicon Valley, contended that there's never a good reason to send a press release. It catalyzed no small debate in the PR world.
Die! Press Release! Die! Die! Die!
"Press releases are nearly useless. They typically start with a tremendous amount of top-spin, they contain pat-on-the-back phrases and meaningless quotes."
