Are You (P)interesting?

It’s all over. I got sucked into the spinning, pinning vortex of the online community Pinterest. Though I just started last week, I can’t go to a website anymore without thinking of pinning possibilities. Yes, the word addiction comes to mind; though I’m sure I could quit at anytime — honest. Okay, it’s an addiction.

The Difference Between Social Media and Your Website

I listened to a webinar today that focused on public relations planning considerations for 2010. During this webinar, which was presented by Vocus, the speaker reviewed results from a recent survey completed by Vocus subscribers.

For those who don’t know, Vocus is an online media research and tracking tool that is used by public relations professionals worldwide. It also happens to be the main service that we use here at VantagePoint. Vocus helps build media contact lists, distribute press releases, manage editorial calendar opportunities, and much more.

Over the weekend I was shopping with my wife for some storage boxes for vacation keepsakes. (Don’t ask. It’s too complicated. The short version is that I like to keep memories from our annual family vacations, but I’m too lazy to bother with trying to create scrapbooks.) We looked at the usual suspects – A.C. Moore, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, etc., and even tried Walmart. I thought I’d visit Walmart’s website as well, and found the strangest thing.
