What are your PR “must reads?”
Share As PR pros, we all do our fair share of reading. Me? I read the Wall Street Journal, CNN, and various local publications. Esquire and Golf Digest.

24. March 2009
Share One of the great things about social networks is their ability to connect you with like-minded individuals you might not otherwise have the chance to meet.

Share Recently, we’ve seen two NBA players tweet during halftime: Charlie Villaneuva and Shaquille O’Neal.

15. March 2009
Share Technology changes quickly these days. Just think, a few years ago, we all thought a flip-phone was revolutionary. Today, our mobile devices are much more advanced. Heck they’re practically handheld computers (the future is right around the corner). But there are so many choices out there–Blackerrys, iPhones, Google phones, and a slew of others. [...]

12. March 2009
Share We all have our “life lists.” 10 things we want to do before we leave this earth. It usually includes incredible trips to far-flung destinations like Australia or Tahiti and serious challenges that you would normally never consider. Think sky-diving (OK, so maybe that one’s not on Peter Shankman’s list). Life in the online [...]
