Is this a $1,000 stock?

Dig a Silicon Valley Girl
by Brian Solis
Normally I wouldn’t write about a site like this. After all, we have an incredibly high standard to adhere too at bub.blicio.us. But, since two bub hosts are in the running for official “babe” status, I thought I should give the startup up its due attention.
Digg a silicon valley girl is really an interesting concept; part Hot or Not and part digg.
The idea? Well, it’s...

Ugh. An incredibly narrow “us vs. them” view of Social Media and Media Relations. This is the kind of post that shows you why PR isn’t always invited to the marketing table. This has NOTHING to do w/media relations. It should be in addition to any good PR

What I Learned at The Lobby
Guest post by Steve Rosebaum, CEO of Magnify.net So, I’ve been to maybe 250 conferences. The come in all shapes and sizes. Some are pretty mundane, with panels debating the various tech issues or monetization strategies. For those, the really connections come on the panels or - yes - in the Lobby. There are others - more high minded - where the discourse is certainly more thoughtful. But all of...
