news and embargoes and techcrunch and scoble OH MY!

Written by jeneane on September 23, 2009 — 3 Comments

I think everyone has gotten the memo by now: TechCrunch stopped honoring embargoes from PR people a long while back. And today, TC has still stopped honoring embargoes. Elvis also remains out of the building.

Written by jeneane on May 26, 2009 — Leave a Comment

Thanks to Toby at Diva Marketing for including me in the who’s who of Atlanta-based social media consultants. Toby got to wondering where the women were and decided to answer the question herself. Of course, if I had made the list, she’d be at the top!
It’s been 2,033,911 Internet years since I made a list, [...]
