Stuff worth checking out: "Chris Heuer is the project lead: Signups for the new media press release (really!)" (Tom Foremski) – more on the effort to update the press release for the new media age. Something worth following. "Blogs, Politics and Public Relations" (Beltway Blogroll) – campaigns in the new media age "GOP Superiority in…
Jimmy Wales the creator of Wikipedia, has launched a wiki designed to be a resource for information on issues, parties, and campaigns. Unfortunately, the effort demonstrates right out of the gate that highly charged issues may not be the best use of the wiki format where readers get to edit entries themselves. The battle has…
I wasn’t able to make it out to Gnomedex, unfortunately. Fortunately, I’ve been able to catch some of it through the streaming feed provided by the conference. I found it very interesting several weeks ago when I first heard that John Edwards would be a keynote speaker at the event. It really demonstrates the lengths…

OK, that much might be expected. Democrats are optimistic about their chances…
I attend conferences more for the conversation and inspiration than for the panels. So I was pleased over the past two days to meet a bunch of smart, interesting people. For example, last night at dinner I had the opportunity to sit next to Jim Nail of Cymfony. His company has recently gone through a…
An action packed day today at the WOMBAT conference. The highlight was probably the keynote by Naked Conversations authors Robert Scoble and Shel Israel. This wasn’t your usual high-tech group, so there were quite a few who knew of neither and by show of hands a majority seemed to not know that Scoble had decided…
I attended the Word of Mouth Marketing Association’s WOMBAT conference today in San Francisco. Day 1 had a number of good panels, including one which covered some research about how people respond to word of mouth recommendations and whether online opinion matters. Interestingly, the research suggested that about 90% of word of mouth recommendations come…
