		<description><![CDATA[Last month, I wrote a press release for a fundraiser a friend of mine is organizing, which will take place on January 19. As the date of the event nears, we’ve been trying to get the word out through media pitches, social networking sites and word-of-mouth marketing. Any exposure or media attention is more than [...]]]></description>

It was a gesture from a loving and proud daughter — this was her mother’s first foray into social networking and Catherine wanted to give the website a little exposure. The responses from Catherine’s followers on Twitter and Facebook were welcoming, [...]]]></description>

The day after the arrival of Cardboard Dave, the flesh-and-blood one called me. He sheepishly asked me if I received his package, then stated that he wasn’t egotistical; the idea was his marketing departments.
