Jeff Pulver is encouraging us to take part in Blogday 2008 and I figure why not? It’s a great way for us all to check out different blogs and maybe learn a thing or two. So here are my five blogs (non-PR) to celebrate BlogDay.
1. Special Little People provides aromatherapy products for children. Blogger Janine [...]

I just spent 3.5 hours reading PR blogs. What an excellent way to while away a cold damp Saturday morning. It’s tough to boil it down to just five favourites, but here goes.
1. Dave Jones has posted and invited us to steal his blog stats dashboard template. It seems to be a [...]

Having your ears on really works when it comes to social media. I’m always telling the clients that the at the very least they should be monitoring the blogosphere. I say, “if someone was throwing a dinner party and your customers, staff, shareholders, competitors were all going to be there, wouldn’t you like to hear [...]

Just show up at Paparazzi in Douglas at 12.30 tomorrow. There is no strict agenda. I just want to gauge interest in future events and see what topics people would like to explore [...]

Strive Notes is about to undergo a major makeover and in preparation we’re doing a little spring cleaning. We’ve tidied up the blog roll by removing the excess verbiage and have added a few blogs that we’ve been reading for a long time now (should have been added ages ago!).
Watch this space for more change [...]

These lunchtime seminars take place on 10 and 17 March are designed [...]

Yes it’s true. We’re toddling along properly now that we’ve turned two years old. Strive Notes was launched in 2 March 2006 as a ‘virtual watercooler’ for Strivers. Since that time, we’ve gone from being a virtual agency to a ‘combination’ model with our virtual consultants being supported by an ‘real’ office of PRs in [...]

It seems that social media has a real ‘ethics in the workplace’ divide on at the moment. At Strive PR we are encouraged to develop Facebook groups, blog and take time to learn from other’s blog posts. Some businesses are taking steps to eliminate access to social media during office hours, but should they also [...]

New premises, same blog… It is however a little lengthy today, seems I have a lot to say!
1. Came across this one about Canadian programme, Breakfast T.V and it made me laugh. Although I obviously didn’t watch it, the principle is the same worldwide. People in media and PR have to be so careful of [...]

A new week brings a new post from Jo!
1. Is PR ready for 2008? After reading this am not so sure.
2. The McCanns are in talks about bringing the story of missing Madeline to the Hollywood big screen. Apparently there trying to bring the story to a ‘bigger audience’ in attempts to find Madeline? [...]

As some of you may have noticed, there was no blog post from me last week. However, I am pleased to say the sneezing and coughing has stopped and the pile of tissues that was my desk for most of last week has cleared. I am back to work, back to health and back to [...]

Susan Getgood tagged me with the snack time meme that’s making the rounds. Jeremiah Owyang challenged us last week to describe how we respect ‘media snackers’.
Respect them? I am one! Despite the obvious fact that I don’t fit the age profile, I have definitely become prone to snack attacks over the past couple [...]

It’s Wednesday so that must mean more blog posts from Jo! Here was me thinking that no one reads my posts when my friends informed me last night they have been having a crafty look for weeks. It seems I have an avid fan in my friend Susie, who eagerly awaits my post today, and [...]

Amanda Chapel has quit as the managing editor of Strumpette. Should we believe her this time? Or is this another ruse? I guess only time will tell, but I suspect that we’ve not heard the last of her.

Exciting week for me so far, a promotion! And with the new job title comes a slightly new blog. Something a little different with less about what I am doing and more about what I am reading.
Bare in mind this is new to me so I am keeping it fairly simple to start with. It’s [...]

Also this week, we’ll have some new stuff from [...]

Thirty-two shot dead at Virginia Tech. As the headline rolled across my computer screen my first thought was that my daughters have friends at that college. I imagined the panic their parents must be feeling at that moment, trying to reach their own sons and daughters to make sure they are alright.
It takes me [...]

Scott over at Media Orchard has created the Buzzword Abuse Index to measure the amount of jargon that creeps into bloggers’ writing. He’s done an analysis of ‘W-b 2.0′. The worst offender is Micropersuasion which scored a whopping 13.9. The lowest score is a five-way tie at 0.1.
Although I’m pretty sick of hearing this term; [...]
