I guess I must have been running a bit too fast lately, because I missed the fact that “The Social Media Manifesto, The Future of Corporate Communications,” made the finals for THE SEMMYS. Had I known, I would have asked for your help during the voting process
THE SEMMYS tracks and ranks the year’s best posts in search engine marketing. Quite honestly, I was happy to be included in the finals. The manifesto finished as a runner up to “The Social Media Manual: Read Before You Play,” by Muhammad Saleem, Search Engine Land.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you have been presented a case as to whether or not the Social Media Release is nothing more than a MeatballSundae – a term created by Seth Godin to visualize the mixing of two great ideas into something not so tasty.
It’s cute to say the least, but unfortunately, cute doesn’t cut it.
Greg Jarboe, the prosecutor in this case, is someone whose work in SEO PR has helped evolve Public Relations into the Internet era, and we applaud his efforts.
I participated in the PR Do’s and Don’t's session at Blogworld Expo in Las Vegas. I have to say that this was one of the smartest panels I’ve had the opportnity to join in a while. Everyone just got it!
Facebook isn’t the only online aggregator that contributes, defines, and showcases your online brand. Everything we produce and share is online and readily discoverable, not just by friends and family, but business associates, customers, prospects, clients, etc.

Stowe Boyd recently captured a unique observation in his short post, “With Apologies to Henry Davied Thoreau,” where he warned, “Beware of any undertaking that requires editing your Twitter stream.”
USAToday.com took a step in “a” direction in the hopes of paving the way for traditional media to follow. But a closed network may not have been far enough…
Are they too early? No! Are they too late? No way! Could they do more? Yes…absolutely.
But, at this point, this is a promising glimpse of how all news will enable viewers to interact with reporters as well as other readers and peers inside USAToday.com.
It’s fascinating to see how the “PR 2.0″ manifesto has spread through a natural and intelligent set of influencers over the last 10 years, without attracting “opportunistic” PR professionals to jump on the bandwagon – until now.
Now with Web 2.0 starting to crossover into the mainstream, PR 2.0 (and everything 2.0) has become the golden ticket for misguided marketing professionals.
Just a side point though, how many people can accurately define Web 2.0 anyway? Answer, not many.
This Friday, March 2nd, I’m speaking at the Bulldog Reporter conference – Advanced PR Technology in Practice, a day-long event discussing how to transform the state of the art into increased visibility, greater ROI and crisis solutions.
The event will be held in Los Angeles at The Olympic Collection.
I participated in the event when it was in San Francisco last November. I was invited to speak on Social Media, its present and its future, but I was surprised at just how few of the attendees were familiar with the fundamental building blocks including tags, networks, crowd sourcing, RSS, etc.
I’ve been invited to blog the “Under The Radar: Why Office 2.0 Matters” event on March 23rd.
The event, produced by Dealmaker Media, showcases 32 emerging office 2.0 applications that are changing office workflow and disrupting traditional technology, impacting everything from organization, collaboration, tracking, and publishing to communicating, personalizing, and syncing.
It will focus on the future of the office 2.0 landscape and its challenges and opportunities within SMB and enterprise adoption and the monetization of services.
