The Dallas Morning News has a great offer for you: Help us review the lost JFK files. Seems that a DA in Texas found some files relating to the Kennedy assassination. There are so many of them, they they are calling on readers to help out.
Given the volume, we haven’t been able to review most of the files. That’s why were calling on you. Here’s your chance to review never-seen-before materials related to the JFK assassination.
Take a look, and let us know if you see something interesting.
While I am thrilled to get a chance to review these documents myself (I never will, but I have the chance), this seems to be pure laziness on the part of the Dallas Morning News.
Our local PRSA chapter has a blog where member can post questions and information. This post piqued my interest:
I received an email from someone asking for some quick enlightenment on how to get the most for herself and her clients out of social media sites like stompernet and twitter. She wrote, “I’ve joined several but I’m just not sure what to do with them. how can I advise clients when I don’t get it?? Who in the world has time to sit on these sites and browse for other people you know or want to know or to write what you’re doing in a blog everyday?? And there are so many sites that seem to be “a must” how do you choose where to go? Last question.. how do people find you on these sites? Blog directories?”
I posted a reply, and for the sake of those reading this blog, here’s how I responded:
“I’ve joined several but I’m just not sure what to do with them. how can I advise clients when I don’t get it??”
Common Craft has some great, short videos that explain the basics of different social networking tools.
Congratulations, Celebrex, you have created the worst television commercial ever. More discussion after the break.
So you’ve probably heard that Celebrex almost got pulled from the market because it was causing heart problems. Their response: Hey, any of these drugs can kill you - including ours.
They have created an ad that is so confusing and so difficult to look at that it is worthless in terms of marketing, in terms of advertising, in terms of PR. I have never seen an ad this bad, and it runs for an eternity.
If you have something nice to say about this ad, please comment. Perhaps I’m missing something (it is the end of the day after all). Unless I hear differently, this is officially the worst television commercial ever.
The good folks at Ragan interviewed me when I was in Vegas a few months ago. They did a great job of editing a 30 minute conversation down to just 8 minutes.
Before the interview we did quite a bit of basketball talk – UNC was to face Duke that weekend. I guess they figured that I worked at UNC because of how excited I am about the team. As most of you know, I’m still the VP of Communications at Altyris.
