Every article you see has the “How to Act on Twitter” and “What You’re REALLY saying in 140 characters.” But the truth is this, my [...]

Why I’m Deleting Your Press Release

Get a group of people from Match.com together and ask them: Ever gone on a bad date? Now get a group of editors together and ask them: Ever cringed at a press release?

All right, it’s confession time: I used to hate Twitter. Like many of my journalist brethen, I was skeptical, if not dumbfounded, by this microblogging platform.
