George P. Johnson Experience Marketing to conduct this essential and timely
research. This year's study is being co-produced with The Jordan Edmiston
Group, Inc. and with support from the Event Marketing Institute."

When I landed in Athens, Greece, on Sunday, October 13, 2007, the last thing
on my mind was writing a blog entry about high-tech public relations, until I
heard from a PR agent on the day of my arrival. In the past 10 days or so
we have been working with her on a breaking news story that is currently
under NDA. I was so impressed with her professionalism and her passion for
perfection that yesterday I posted a blog entry, recommending the agency she
works for, to technology companies that are searching for a highly qualified
public relations firm.
Within minutes of my blog entry, I received the strangest email notification,
alerting me to another blog written by Alan Zeichick, "co-founder and
editorial director of BZ Media, which publishes SD Times and Software Test &
Performance, and which also produces the Software Security Summit, Software
Test & Performance Conf... (more)

Will Ulitzer and SocialYell Dominate News Content on The Web (Eventually)? is
the blog title of Gartner's Anthony Bradley.
In his blog entry, Bradley writes: "Hype around Ulitzer.com (the
social-journalism news magazine site) is climbing. At one point they were
offering authors 200% of their Google AdSense revenue... I am convinced that
the only way to change the world is through collectively determining how we
spend our money and our votes. Will Ulitzer be this vehicle?"
Ulitzer content is grouped in 25 distinct subjects from "Aerospace and
Defense" to "Travel and Hospitality." Each subject group offers an unlimited
number of topics, and each topic may contain thousands of peer-reviewed
feature stories, bylined articles, blog posts, news, reviews, commentary, and

John Funnel on Ulitzer
Earlier this year one of my staff attended a SYS-CON event and returned to
the office a different person. Revitalised and motivated.
I asked her what happened at the event to warrant such a transformation? What
was her secret? Was it the New York Shopping experience? A business Romance
or was it Devine intervention?
She simply advised me to ‘check out Ulitzer. – Everyone who is anyone is
on it’.
She was not the first to introduce me to the innovation. Many of my peers had
gone through such noticeable changes, It was like a weight had been lifted
from their shoulders, that they now had a true portal to vent out their
innermost thoughts.
I was instantly intrigued by such recommendations. People, just like me, were
using Ulitzer everywhere. So what had I been fighting against all this time?
What was I avoiding?
Eventually I succumbed to the in... (more)
