Take THAT, Media Orchard!

Media Orchard is experimenting. Who am I to say no to self-serving, incredibly unscientific and highly questionable blog search related behavior? Just doing my best to help a blogga out.

The Haunting of Social Media

I recently had the pleasure of attending the graduation ceremony of my good friend in New Hampshire on May 20th at UNH. It was part of my post-school vacation to visit friends and family in New England. My friend received his Masters in English Literature and I was happy to, so recently, sit through another [...]

C.C. Chapman Must be Stopped

I don't know what it is. Is it jealousy? Awe? Entertainment? But C.C. Chapman must be stopped. C.C. Chapman has become ubiquitous in the world of social media, specifically podcasting. In fact, I haven't listened to a podcast in the last week that didn't have his voice or name mentioned. You want a lesson in [...]

Friday Frivolity

Hate getting email junk from friends or family, but are afraid of hurting their feelings? Worry no more. Just let someone else do it for you, reply to their email and send them this link. Oh, if only we could have websites for all unpleasant things. A few suggestions: Bad breath Breakups Broccoli in one's [...]

Dramamercials?

I am really looking forward to this. Live-action commercials on stage before shows? The USA Today article goes into detail: "I don't know why nobody has thought of it before, to have a live ad on stage for theater," said McLynn, who will perform before a production of "Saturday Night Fever" at the Gaiety. "It [...]

Newspapers – nothing new here

This post originally appeared on the Forward blog Newspapers. We’ve been hearing about their demise for years now. But, seriously, is that ever going to happen? Let’s see, the only medium I can think of that really went offline was the telegraph. And that was a rare case. As Shel Holtz is fond of saying: [...]

Todd Defren Wins! (sort of)

A while back we posted that we'd be having a contest to change the name of our blog. We received a few comments and suggestions, but none so thoughtful and encouraging as those of Todd Defren who authors the PR Squared blog and The Good Pitch blog. Now, we didn't actually use any of Todd [...]

PRSA Akron Steppin’ Up

I'm pleased to announce that the Akron Chapter of PRSA joined the blogosphere in March. Even Constantin made note of it. Sponsored by Akhia Public Relations (and hosted by Six Apart's Typepad) the blog is titled, "A side of Blog." First of all, I'm thrilled to see that NE Ohio has entered the "conversation", as [...]

The Gap, A Digital One

Yes, the elusive and sometimes controversial topic of digital divide. It’s a hot issue especially, since Web 2.0 is bursting-at-its seams. Yvonne DiVita’s interview with AT&T’s Spokesperson Claudia Jones over at the Lip-stiking blog strikes a match to the conversation. They discuss AT&T’s Project Lightspeed, which connects rural communities to the Internet at a faster [...]

Blog Search Update

I had been planning to do a review of blog search engines since I posted about Sphere the other day. Well, now I don’t have to. Tom Raftery beat me to it. His review is brief, but thorough. First off, let me mention that both he and I were testing subscribed searches, mostly. That’s when [...]
