Having a discussion a few days ago with a running buddy who is in HR. She was telling me how, when she interviews potential candidates, she asks for one or two online personas - She tells them that before she Googles them, she’ll go to those specific personas and attempt to form an opinion that […]
D’oh.

Did Fox News today - Got a call as my plane was landing in Chicago. 40 minutes later, I was at Fox’s Chicago studio, being put into makeup. (which I forgot to wipe off, which made my client burst into hysterics when she saw me.)
Piece was on Aquafina having to put verbage on their bottles […]
What was that CBS News Radio 88 slogan many years ago? "Miss a minute, and you miss a lot…"
It’s been quite the week so far. In no particular order, I’m going to randomize a bunch of stuff here and try and get everything caught up. Some PR, some industry, some personal, some other stuff…

I’m just kidding. That’s not why I’m attending the 2007 BlogHer conference in Chicago, weekend after next. I’m attending to meet up with my client, FlavorX.

You going? Let […]

The article goes on to say how […]
I wanted to wait until after the conference ended to see how these went over. And I’m thrilled to report that they were the hit of the show.
I got the idea after Lili from Online Tonight gave me one of hers a few months ago. So I had them made, and figured this show would […]
Thank you, Business Week, for a truly spectacular story on Immersive Media, my client who creates 360 degree immersive video and still photos.
What a great story. What a great way to start my Tuesday.
Easiest way to tell when a company goes from "small and fun" to "major and corporate?"
When I was at AOL, it was when they stopped providing free beer trucks on Friday afternoons in the parking lot.
For Facebook, it would seem to be when their guidelines for how to issue a release if it involves them […]
The morning dawned grey and hot, as every morning in Singapore has so far.
Last night saw an after-day-one party with free drinks and networking galore.
And it saw me stay for five minutes, schmooze, network, drink two diet cokes, and promptly go back to my hotel room to work for three hours.
On the plus side of […]
