The Evolution of the Press Release
Note:
Editor’s note: The press release is the least loved document in the media universe. We get way too many here at TechCrunch, and some bloggers equate them to spam. But they do have their uses. In this guest post, Brian Solis explains how the press release has evolved, and sheds some light on why it may be so difficult to kill off. Solis writes this from the perspective of a PR professional. He is Principal of FutureWorks, a PR and New Media agency in Silicon Valley and also blogs at PR 2.0.

The Blood Brain Barrier
Note:
Most of my time these days is spent crossing the blood-brain barrier between Twitter and the rest of the cloud. Twitter stands on one side, a coursing stream of social data emanating from an ad-hoc framework of asynchronous follows and vanity track filtering. On the other side, the legacy blogosphere, RSS items floated via Google Reader shared items and planted in the Twitter stream via TinyURLs.

iPhone 3G Photos Are Fake, Fake, FAKE
Note:
Dont get fooled by the alleged 3G iPhone photos. They are not real, just a pasted photo over another cellphone, probably a BlackBerry. These photos have been up since 12:04AM central european time and its now 7:04PM (10AM). Thats 17 hours up with no Cease and Desist order from Apple Europe or Apple USA. Fake and UGLY.

Whitelist Email Instructions Generator
Note:
If you have a newsletter or send any type of email this will help you. Whitelist instructions are key to email delivery and easy with this free tool.
A recent study showed that only 22 percent of all email newsletters gave specific instructions to whitelist their newsletter. That is four out of five sites not offering any whitelist instructions to their subscribers. Talk about a missed opportunity.
I just recently (5/01/2008) have completely rewritten this page generator. It now includes more ISPs, Blackberries, SpamCop (yes SpamCop has a whitelist) who is now heavily used by Microsoft and ReturnPath, McAffee and Norton. If you have any additions or updates to offer, plese contact me at the top right. You can see my generated whitelist instructions here...
