What Drives Clients to PeopleSoft Real Estate Management (REM)

The Real ROI of the Press Release

BNET’s Drew Kerr: Well-written press releases have lost much of their power to generate actual news coverage. Journalists suffering from information overload rarely have the time to slog through the number of pitches they receive daily, so publicists bank on their relationships with them to get coverage.

Your Blog Is Your Mothership

Thought-provoking and spot-on post by Amber Riviere over at Web Worker Daily: Yesterday, I read the “Unconventional Guide to the Social Web,” and although I found a lot of useful information in it, one quote has stuck with me since reading it: “Your blog is your mothership.

While this is certainly true, three thoughts come to mind. 1. There is a CIO on ZDNet’s list (#50, Scott Lowe), but I don’t think that meets the mainstream corporate CIO

The Best of the Internet: Friday Links Edition for August 14th, 2009

Seeing how I’m taking my son camping and hunting with his best hunting flashlight for his first time this weekend, I must spare you the long, rambling anecdote about my childhood meddling and cut right to the very best things on the Internet this week. First, a review of the best commencement speech ever given.
