Today, I had to drag myself out of my bed (on a cold, rainy morning) to attend the PodCamp 2008 in Singapore, organised by the Singapore Management Universities (SMU).

However, [...]

Resume 2.0 – Who are you online?
Ok. Yes. I have been neglecting my blog. Being BUSY is totally understated lately.
Brendan’s recent post shows this blog declining in activities, (currently at spot 39, declining at -20… ) but an increase in “sociability” This just means, I still “socialised” online somewhere, just that I did not update my blog!
Two weeks ago, I [...]

No Flaming. Just Good Old Intelligent Posts
Recently, the local blogosphere is acting up and started some entertaining “flames”.
Wikipedia: Flaming is the hostile and insulting interaction between Internet users.
I was “entertained” for a very short while and decided that, time will be better spent reading some good old intelligent posts. Going through my hundreds of RSS feeds had been something I did [...]

PR and Social Media in Asia
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/ [...]

Are we really influencing our audiences?
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, [...]

My waking hours
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 [...]

The”P” in PR
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 [...]

PR’s nightmare
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 [...]
