Media awe at a prototype racing motorcycle that uses the E600 Intel® Atom™ chip to send data about its engine to a pit crew on Day 2 of the Intel Developer Forum event at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. As I’m working on getting documents together for the Intel event in NYC that I [...]


As part of a program I’m involved with through the University of Oregon called the Portland Experience, I’m going to be blogging regularly about my job at Intel. This will take over the majority of my blog posts for the next three months, while I complete this program. After the program is over, my post [...]


I’ve had a lot of people tell me that they aren’t active in social media because they see social networking sites as overwhelming, time consuming and repetitive.

As the pitch goes on, I inserted comments that look like this to explain the important parts of the pitch. Note: I wrote this pitch myself. It’s [...]


Yesterday, I was talking with someone very close to me about expanding the target audience for his company. As it turns out, I happen to know that the audience he’s interested in is very active in social media, specifically blogging. In fact, it’s not uncommon for members of that network to rely on blogs when [...]


Now that you’re convinced that business blogging is the way to go, it’s time to look at blogging best practices. Most of the advice I give in this post can be applied to personal and corporate blogs, but some of it is catered specifically to corporate bloggers. Preparing to Blog Research best practices. You’re on [...]


Note: This blog post is written from the perspective of a young public relations practitioner (and social media junkie). It’s written for the benefit of other practitioners and for companies that are on the fence about starting a blog. Hopefully, it will be beneficial and educational for both. I know I’m not the only public [...]
