Happy New Year! Did anyone else feel like this was the longest short week of their life? One of my goals this year is to work no more than 12 hours a day and I blew that on Wednesday, my first day back. But I managed only 12 hours yesterday. Baby steps! Hopefully your New Year’s resolutions are going better than that. I’m sorry for those ... Read More

I would like to introduce you to my wife, Amy Vernon. You see, a few months ago, I told her I love her so much, I want to marry her. She accepted on one condition: I share her with Tinu Abayomi-Paul. Which is all fine and dandy. EXCEPT. Tinu hasn’t publicly shared her love and I think this blog post is as good as it comes. ... Read More

Today’s guest post is by Yvette Pistorio. When I was in journalism school I wanted to be Andy Andersen, the how-to girl in “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” My plan was to move to New York City and work for Cosmo or one of the Condé Nast publications. None of it happened. At the time, I never even considered becoming a blogger. I ... Read More

As most of you know, there is a thing called #FollowFriday that happens on Twitter. At its purest, it has good intentions – highlight the people you like to follow on Twitter so others can get to know them too. But, like anything else in life, people got lazy and found shortcuts and suddenly your Twitter stream every Friday was full of tweets that just had ... Read More

Last summer, I spoke at the Vocus Users Conference, where I got to meet Valeria Maltoni, Steve Farnsworth, and Adam Singer in person for the first time. At the time, Adam was working for Lewis PR and we had a good time sharing agency stories (along with a crazy meal that Steve found on Yelp, which turned out to be not nearly as good as the ...

Welcome to the 13th edition of The Three Things by Michael Schechter, Howie Goldfarb, and me! Two days until Christmas. How many of you will be at the mall tomorrow? Thankfully, I will not see you there. I am finished. Before I give you this week’s links, everyone wish a very happy birthday to my dad! Growing up, I thought it would suck to have your birthday ...

T minus four days until Christmas. Do you have your shopping done? During the Bears/Packers game on Sunday (I don’t want to talk about it), I got all of my shopping done. Thank heaven for the Internet and free shipping! Though, as Josh Wilner pointed out last week, I could have been done before Thanksgiving if I were Jewish. Seeing as December is our busiest month ...

I’m very lucky to live in a city where so many fantastic people who are active on social media live. One of those people is Heidi Massey and, though she doesn’t make her living using social media, I met her that way. But because she’s not in PR or marketing, I likely never would have met her without social media, even though she only lives about ... Read More

Today’s guest post is by Paul Mayze. The Gutenberg Press changed everything. (Stick with me here…) Before its invention, only the extremely wealthy could afford scribes to record the written word for them. Suddenly, the written word was available to a much greater portion of the population. There was an explosion of ideas. Pamphleteers could write their thoughts, get them printed, and share them with the world. ... Read More

It’s my last blog post of the year (next week we’re going to rerun some older posts) and I’m sitting in my office, in the dark, listening to the rain pound against the windows, trying to decide what to write about. Yes, rain. I still haven’t gotten my beloved snow a mere five days before Christmas. There wasn’t even any snow in Utah this past weekend. ... Read More
