Self-Publishing is a Must for PR Campaigns

Check out the latest column from Alan Rosenblatt, our SVP of Digital Strategy, on the importance of including self-publishing into your PR strategy.

Apple Kills Topsy; Turvy Ensues

Two years after purchasing the best Twitter search engine, Apple kills Topsy.com. Topsy.com searched tweets and real time and the entire Twitter archive.
