- From InfOpinions, we find word of MarketingSherpa's best marketing and PR blogs. A nice "woohoo" and "yeah!" to Canuckflack for best PR blog, to PR Machine for honorable mention and Strategic PR for reader's choice write-in.
- From our friend's at O'Dwyer's is a funny story on"top 10 reasons" and a scoring system for companies to use to decide when to fire your PR firm, from CT-based Miller DeMartine Group. Scary thing is that anyone in PR has seen all 10 one time or another.
- From Paid Content, Corante is supplying 4 tech blogs to ZDNet. Well, not really supplying as much as writing and partnering. When people talk about blog publishing, they always mention Gawker Media and Weblogs, Inc. - they're wrong to forget about Corante, the quietly building powerhouse.
- Intel and Microsoft target the living room. This is going to be a hard sell to the public, methinks. But, that's just because I have to deal with my parents for computer issues, and think of all the fun it will be when the computer controls the media center. Already, my Mom isn't allowed to touch the stereo, so this should be real fun. Plus, it's not like Windows ever crashes.
- When code has to die. LexisNexis holds a funeral for its old code, and when it kills programs. A great, quirky piece of PR for the company, and a way to personalize a company. Plus, they serve chocolate cake! Best chocolate cake I ever had is from Bill Knapp's, a now defunct restaurant. It's sad.
- I love Woot! And, I guess, so does Weblogs, Inc. Well, they like the Woot ad buy, but it's still a pretty interesting concept. On any of the Weblogs blogs, there's a small top banner advertisement - very unintrusive, well integrated - that is a new product every day. It's a creative impulse buying operation.
