1) PRSA Explores Certification of PR Professionals Bulldog Reporter
This news is sure to create drama.
But I welcome another way for professionals to differentiate themselves from the industry minority giving us a bad name.
2) Threadless to Open Retail Space Threadless
Threadless and its democratized manufacturing is cool on many levels.
By proxy, I also love retail. So news that Threadless is expanding into retail space in Chicago was big news. The store even doubles as a classroom. Smart.
3) Send E-Mail From Facebook Marketingfm
You can now send email from Facebook to non-Facebook members. For users, this means that Facebook now allows you to access Twitter, IM, video (not blocked by (my) IT like others) and email from one interface.
This is one more reason to hate learn more about Facebook. OK, if not for this reason, consider the children as they head back to school.
4) Rock On! There’s Cream Cheese! indexed
Another pointer to the indexed blog to remind everyone of the power of visuals. In this case, a dead simple visual communicates an idea effectively. Don't over think it!
Oh and if you've ever witnessed a co-worker squeal with glee upon the realization that there’s free food in the kitchen? You'll also appreciate this visual.

Facebook is just going to go and ruin my whole personal networking vs. professional networking hang up, aren't they. Damn those innovators and user-minded companies!?!

I hear ya Jason. But Google, IMHO, ruins that for you. Even a walled garden social network is not foolproof for you funneling your professional and personal selves into two separate compartments like "church and state."
So let your freak flag fly and see what happens. lol. just kidding.

You're right. Damn those Google innovator people! I actually participated in Paul Gillin's teleconference yesterday. Blog post forthccoming ... I may actually email him for some direct reaction, too. This is an interesting issue (for me). I think the conversation will grow beyond my feeble mind, too.

Hey Kevin (et al). He responded on his blog, I did so in kind on mine. FYI.
