I was just looking at some of the searches that landed in one of the top posts in this blog - Social Networking Book Sites. I wrote that post quite a long while back and it constantly came up as top. Some of the common searches that ended at my blog includes “social media books, [...]
Blame it on work. I have been unable to do much outside of work. Now that I am taking a short break, I can start writing..
Several topics and thoughts went through my mind the last few days and I shall try to jot them down in this and next couple of posts.
One of my colleagues [...]
Last week, I replied to a list of questions that Kevin posted on the topic of “would you hire a social media strategist?” . It’s an interesting question, - one that many of us in marketing, communications, PR, new media field are questioning.
I’ve given my replies to Kevin and looking forward to his next post [...]
I stumbled upon this wiki on social media when I was doing random surfing this morning about PR in Asia. It is really quite interesting and I believed it is put together by some university students.
I’ve been invited to a couple of social media events/ gatherings and the discussion topics have always been focused on which tools/ networks/ [...]
My stack of new books from Amazon.com had arrived! I am now flipping through Seth Godin’s Meatball Sundae and Brian Solis & Geoff Livingston’s Now is Gone.
Both have some really interesting points about new media and new media marketing. Since I have not finished reading them, I shall reserve any comments for now. Both are definitely worth reading!Recently, [...]
I was given free upgrade to Flickr pro account two weeks ago (one of the great perks of being staff). I am in the process of (still) downloading the images from the Vegas/ SF trip. Work has taken up quite a bit of time but no, I am not giving up this blog (yet).
I noticed [...]
I’ve got facebook notes, IM messages and emails from friends and some of the blog readers asking if I am “alive”. Of course I am. I am just spending a little too much of my waking hours at work the last few weeks.
This is usually what happens when you are in a new job, a [...]
With my new job role (at Yahoo!) focusing on the mobile industry, I have been spending my time trying to find out anything and everything about mobile.
I came across this interesting article in MarketingWeb, mentioning the following stats:-

Jon and I always joked about how if we get married, my name will be changed to Priscilla Roberts (his surname), so my initials will be “PR”! Perfect for me, since I am in public relations. (if you don’t get the joke, forget it).
Anyway, that silly joke came to mind as I was reading one [...]
Brian and I had an interesting discussion over IM last Friday about whether or not all PR campaigns/ products launches should incorporate some form of social / new media.
We think, perhaps not.
Don’t misunderstand my point, I totally love the new media / the Internet and this blog is set up with the aim to [...]
Recently, someone asked me if I would like to put up some ads on this blog and earn some money. I said no. The person asked “why not?” For a few seconds, I was not sure how to reply. I went with a “well, I like my blog’s cleanliness as it is now and [...]
Last month, I signed up at the Blog Action Day to join some 16000 over bloggers worldwide to blog about any environmental issue on the 15 October 2007. This definitely makes an interesting case study on an idea that uses the blogsphere and the social media tool to create awareness of a worthy initiative. The [...]
In the last few weeks, I noticed a common topic popping up on my RSS aggregator. A few bloggers have been discussing views on “how to pitch to bloggers?”
Aaron has asked me to do an “interview” for the video show he has been putting together titled “Princessa and the little lamb” on the topic of [...]

Sometimes, I marvel at how people connect via various social networks. As of now, I have signed myself up for various services, tried various beta products and stayed on a few great ones. Thanks to Melvin Yuan who first introduced me to Twitter, I am quite addicted to it now.
Facebook, as everyone knows is totally [...]
