PR blogger Vince Bank is peeved that tech evangelist Guy Kawasaki is using Twitter to promote his startup Truemors, instead of giving him "personal insights." And he calls himself a PR guy? Kawasaki's fanboys accept and defend his self-promotion. Bank even misses the valuable lesson Kawasaki taught him when Bank's self-promoting post to Truemors was banned. He asks, "Is this a classic case of 'Do as I say, but not as I do?'" The answer is yes. Unlike Kawasaki, Bank just isn't brassy enough to get away with it.

Guy "spoke" at the AlwaysOn Stanford Summit this year. He was the worst conference session I've ever seen. People were laughing at him (before they walked out). I can't believe that he's considered legit in any circles.
Guy's a joke to anyone who actually attends the sessions and has any whiff of smarts, but he's a Living Godhead, to the bloggers and marketing folk, who just hang out in the lobbies.
