Rising above the Dark Knight tragedy
After midnight today in Colorado, a pathetic real-life example of that darkness turned sour, senseless and violent, walked into a theater during a screening of Dark Knight and killed 12 people and injured more than 70.
A tale of three car sites, only two of which do it right
Over the course of the weekend, my research assistant/smoking hot wife gave the car sites (and our local library) a beating they won’t soon forget.
MeetUp – The greatest social network you’ve never heard of
For the past ten years MeetUp has been quietly and successfully encouraging interactions on and off-line through by connecting people with common interests.
RIP MCA: In memory of an ill communicator
But when I call Adam Yauch, aka the Beastie Boys’ MCA, a hero, as in one I looked up to and who helped me to define my course in life,
Exclamation decimation: The fine art of punkedyouwayshun
“If you just use one exclamation mark, nobody even notices. It’s like you’re just kind of excited. But if you use three exclamation marks, then it’s like you’re really excited. If you use even more, like eleven exclamation marks, then you’re really, really excited.”
Curation key to a quieter internet
If we are to stay sane and on top of what is happening in the world, we need to bring the concept of web curation to the next level.
Rethinking how we sell our PR services
We think bundling PR services and pricing them clearly will make it easier for clients to understand what they’re buying. It also recognizes how different the practice of public relations has become in the 24/7, constantly connected world we live in today.
New website causes media sensation, freshens breath while you read
The word is out. Thanks to Gawker blogging about it, Perez Hilton tweeting a catty remark in regards to it, and Lady Gaga wearing an outfit made entirely from computer screens displaying it, you’ve by now heard that AM:PM PR has a new website.
Consumer Electronics Show sans hoverboard
Last month I got the chance to attend the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. CES is so huge that it is hard to comprehend even after going.
Birthday Boy
What goes better with birthday cupcakes than oblivion? Seriously, we’re asking you. At AM:PM PR, oblivion is the ice cream to our cake.
Wake up businesses and organizations! Consumers are in control.
Today a company’s bad decision can ignite an immediate firestorm that can spread across the interwebs as quickly as a tornado can ruin a city. Boards and CEOs in charge of such decisions should consider every possibility for backlash. Hindsight is always 20/20, but with enough of these examples in the past 12 months, I would expect that every organization would thoughtfully gauge the opinions of its target consumer before deciding on a new course that could permanently damage the brand.
Buzzmaker – One Tweet is Never Enough
Nobody does it better than our buzzmaker. Well, mostly nobody. OK, so there are quite a few people who do it better. Octavius Wrathchilde might not be the greatest spy in the world, but fortunately for him, he’s well matched to his adversaries. Oh, and he mixes up a mean Facebook status update. Sit back, […]
Strike Against SOPA & PIPA
Today is the strike against SOPA and PIPA. Many websites are blacking out and offering information about SOPA and PIPA and how to get in touch with your congressmen to tell them how you feel about this legislation. These bills would create Internet censorship laws more intrusive than Syria or China currently employ in their countries.
Let’s Do The Timeline Again
Alexis Dane loves cats. Cam Clark pumps out the party jams. Family is of utmost importance to Pat McCormick, and his daughter, Allison didn’t fall far from the tree.
These are the things the new Facebook Timeline profile format tells me, and perhaps in the bigger scheme of things, these are the most important things for me to know about each person.
