I will be the first to admit that the Gizmodo gag was pretty funny. I laughed pretty hard when I watched it. But I also expected the CEA to punish them. Good point about Engadget geing number one as well. I think content speaks for itself, and while these little pranks might generate temporary pageviews, they will likely upset loyal, permanent readers enough to leave the site - and I think that is exactly what happened here. Blogs are here to stay, and there is no denying it. I think from a PR perspective, there just needs to be a different strategy to promoting your client with these sites as they will not follow the traditional rules set by "old media". Some blogs like Gizmodo are like a rebellious teen in highschool, they are easy to get a long with once you learn their language. Well said Julie.
