		<title>Do We Still Need Press Releases?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is a question I get now and then from start-ups (note that it doesn&#8217;t happen too often, which probably means that in most of the execs&#8217; minds, press releases are still an important part of their PR tool set).

		<title>FTC Rules for Bloggers Effective Today</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As most of us know, starting today, the blogosphere will be regulated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which requires bloggers to disclose free products or payments they have received from companies they are mentioning in their reviews or blog posts. If they fail to do so, the fine could be up to $11,000. From mommy bloggers to tech [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Role the PR Agency Plays in Your Social Media Strategy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The PR agency should get involved in your social media efforts; that could include designing and executing your strategy. From identifying the best places your audience &#8220;hangs out&#8221; to content creation, it is your PR agency&#8217;s job to get you going down that path.

		<title>Tweeting on Behalf of Your Company/Employer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[By now, most high-tech marketing and PR professionals have figured out Twitter or, at least, have heard of it. We all approached it differently though.

		<title>What Comes after Newspapers?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I posted my latest blog entry titled &#8220;Reading or Ripping Print&#8221; and, only a few days after, I attended an event called &#8220;The Next Journalism &#8211; What Comes after Newspapers&#8221; with Tom Foremski of SiliconValleyWatcher and Carolyn Pritchard of Gigaom. The discussion made me think even more about what the future holds and if my very young kids will ever [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ripping or Reading Print?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We see it happening more and more. Print publications move to online versions, they go from monthly to weekly issues, and those who don&#8217;t abandon print versions certainly get &#8220;skinnier&#8221; with every issue. The smaller vendor marketing budgets affect advertising first, and the first area hit by that is print. It&#8217;s expensive, difficult to measure, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Should PR Agencies Blog?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There have been many conversations out there about the validity of a PR agency’s blog. Would anybody trust us, knowing that our clients pay for our services, and we can’t really say anything negative in a blog? So, should we or should we not blog?
