General discussion about reporting, publishing, even blogging…

How To Deal With Difficult Emailers

You’ve had it happen before. You apply for something, you meet all the criteria, and get a canned response saying you don’t actually meet the criteria. You send a reply, explaining and asking for more details, only to hear nothing. Or, you email that PR contact with the perfect questions… only to hear nothing back […]

Busy, Busy, Busy!

Apologies for the lack of posts, but thinks haven’t stopped in the slightest. I’ll leave the updates on PhoneNews.com to the blog over there, but safe to say, we’re working really hard on improving a few things. Nothing on the level of Snow Leopard, but there’s clearly some cobwebs that have cropped up over the […]

Whirlwind of Things…

Making the transition to running a dot com startup is something I’m actually quite thrilled about. But, at the same time, it means I have to multitask countless things at once. In case you haven’t heard, MechaWorks is the new parent company that will be my main job. It combines the worlds of publishing, software […]

What’s Next? Help Tell Me…

In a little over a month from now, I’ll be announcing what has been going on, why I’ve been half-offline for all this time, and what’s coming next. I will say one angle of this does involve publishing. As PhoneNews.com approaches its fifth birthday, it’s time to expand. Now, publishing is just one part of […]

New Look!

Pardon the dust… I’ve spent all the time I can this weekend on it. But, I hope you like the new look and feel. When time permits, the top navigation and other elements will be fixed. But, it’s a huge improvement already… Feel free to share feedback about the change in the comments.

Playing the Name Association Game

Darren over at ProBlogger raised the interesting topic of name association today. Note: PhoneNews.com is not a blog. However, PhoneNews.com is one of those media sites that does blur the line between typical journalism and typical blogging… we like to stay in that fuzziness. So, today, you’ll notice that the Editor-in-Chief’s Blog widget has been […]
