- Joel Johnson calls out some excessive, “viral” commenting on Boing Boing Gadgets.
- Brian Solis unveils @MicroPR, using Twitter as a tool to connect the media community. Very similar to how HARO is using e-mail.
- Sling puts their hat in the online video ring and launches a video portal, going up against Joost & Hulu. Early returns say that this is the real deal: good content, design and most importantly – a hardware tie-in, letting you stream from any Sling box you own (giving access to Live TV and premium saved content).
- Amazon.com is trying to break the mold a bit this holiday season: user-generated PR. They’ve assembled a team of customers to actively write reviews for hot gifts being pitched to reporters. Keep a close eye on this one, surely more to come.
- Have some downtime this weekend? Rex’s list-mecca for 2008.
We’ll take a bit of a break for the Thanksgiving holiday and be back at it in December! Lots of great stuff coming down the pipe. Stay tuned!
