Waxing UnLyrical

I first came across the folks at Traackr. when PRSA’s 2010 International Conference was held in DC last October. Actually, I didn’t come across them so much as they introduced themselves to me via Twitter and email, and asked to see if we could meet up since they’d be in town. As luck would have it, we weren’t able to meet in person, but we stayed in touch.

Delta Troop Fail - Consider the Bigger, Less Popular, Business Picture

Bad Pitch Blog

'UPDATE: The YouTube video has been pulled down. But I''m leaving it in the code below. Delta has increased its allowance for checked baggage for military personnel. And I stand by my post. What do YOU think? First let''s note that I''m not here to defend Delta. But I''m also NOT here to join the Delta pile on. That''s too easy and I don''t need to add to a PR echo chamber that''s sure to set off an avalanche creating enough pressure to turn one of Delta''s PR people into a friggin'' diamond.

Optimizing WordPress Excerpts for Maximum Clickability [Redux]

Waxing UnLyrical

This is part of the Blogging for Grasshoppers series. [I originally published this post on April 21. This was a post I'd been meaning to write for a long time, because I believe it can really help your blog, so I put a lot of effort into it. And then, as luck would have it, that was the day of Amazon's EC2 outage. Which didn't mean that the blog went down, but Livefyre, the super-duper comment system I've been using, did.

Learning to Ride a Bike

Waxing UnLyrical

I’ve spent way too much time this morning (already!) on trying to figure out the Google +1 button. I received my invite a few days ago, but every time I tried to click through, I’d get to an error page. If that’s been happening to you as well, here is where you can grab your code.
