I am wondering is it just me who has multiple orphaned social networking and application accounts? At risk of ruining my already flagging [...]

I’m in Seattle this week and now I’ve remembered why I’ve been avoiding using Heathrow as my US connection. You see I’ve written before about the pitfalls of parents not spending a little more time choosing kids’ names. One of my thousands of namesakes is, how do I put this nicely, not very popular with [...]
Text 100: 25 years old and still going…
May 16th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Public Relations
I just read Morgan McLintic’s post today on Text 100 turning twenty five. I spent many happy years at Text 100 learning the ropes the way most people in our industry do (or is that did?). I must say that for all the hard work I absolutely loved it. There was a fantastic group of people [...]

May 16th, 2007 · 7 Comments · Public Relations

Jeremiah Owyang spotted a new store on his way to work. It sits in a row of other shops. But this one is a little different. It’s not selling stationery, sandwiches or coffee. Nope, it’s selling PR.

Drawing on all that’s good about “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid”, Luke Armour has pulled together a very funny PR murder mystery. Worth the download! And no hype or discussion on Web 2.0… brilliant. While recognizing the folly of relying on statistics, Neville has some compelling evidence on why the integration of the online [...]

PR: Ying + Yang is the discussion
May 1st, 2007 · 2 Comments · Public Relations
