Here's a great article I found in PR WEEK

....The human touch is needed again in business to build trust with customers and shareholders. In conducting research with over a dozen major brands for the Shorty Report (a 160-page research report on how businesses are being effective on Twitter) we found that Twitter allows, if not forces, businesses to act human again.
Twitter is a service that lets anyone send a public status message in 140 characters or less. It can be compared to a blog, except it has a few key differences aside from the limited message length. It takes less than a minute to set up a Twitter account, and Twitter's easy input doesn't leave much opportunity for third party review. Because of this, as we discovered while preparing the Shorty Report, employees are springing up from all over companies to communicate.
"Had breakfast mtg w/ Zappos board member. Neither of us are morning people. Naptime now (at least for me, I don't track his sleeping habits)" is a recent tweet from Tony Hsieh, the CEO of Zappos which is now a billion-dollar-a-year online retailer. Is it professional? No. Is it human? Yes.

Cassie: Pay Attention to My Hair, Not My Voice
So Cassie cut her hair and posted pics on her Twitter page. Perfect timing. She has an album that's coming out soon. So I guess the new PR strategy for female artists who don't have great vocals is to get people talking about their hair? (Think Christina Milian)....*not impressed*

VH1 Reality Star Prancer Got a Boob Job!
Good for her. For those of you wondering who the heck is Prancer, she's a VH1 Reality TV star who was previosuly on Flavor of Love 2 and is currently on I Love Money 2. I wonder if that means she's the winner of I Love Money 2. She said if she won the $250,000 she was going to get a boob job.

Chicago Surprises Video:
Chicago is in the running to host the 2016 Olympics. And this is the video Chicago leaders recently presented to the International Olympic Committee in an effort to convince them that The Windy City is the best place for the upcoming Olympic Games. The video received harsh reviews from Chicago Sun Times Columnist Lewis Lazare, but I beg to differ. I'm a midwestern girl at heart and I LOVE Chicago, it's a world-class city. So here's my review: This video rocks.

What's NOT Wrong with this Video?
I don't know where to start with this foolishness! I just stumbled accross the Dream and Mariah's new video for the song My Love. Here's just a few things that are wrong with this video (feel free to add your observations in the comments section LOL): Overall, Mariah Carey trying to play a Hood girl just doesn't work AT ALL! 1. Cornrows on Mariah don't work. 2. Mariah wearing Jordans? That's wrong on so many levels. 3. Lastly, I'd bet my last dollar that Mariah doesn't have the first clue about braiding hair, but she's braiding some guys hair on the front porch in this video.
Ciara and Justin Get Freaky in Sexy Magic

Ray J's New Video: Sexy Ladies
So singer/reality star Ray J is promoting the new I Love Ray J Soundtrack. A soundtrack for a reality show, yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about that. I don't think I'll be rushing to put that album on my iPod. And to make matters worse, he premiered his new video for the song Sexy Ladies on 106&Park today. The video basicaly features random clips from the show, the chicks from the show (Danger gets the most face time) and him doing some push ups. Say it with me people: LOW BUDGET. I am posting the video below for your viewing (dis)pleasure LOL.

VH1's New Show: Daisy fo Love Premieres in April
Daisy of Love premieres April 26. Oh, and 12 Pack (from VH1's I Love New York and I Love Money) is going to be on the show fighting for the Love of Daisy. Hmmm...New York and Daisy are polar opposites, no man in his right mind would be interested in both of them. Maybe he's hoping VH1 will give him his own show called "I Love Being on Reality TV." Let the Buffoonery begin! Can't wait. Check out the cast HERE. Here's a sneak peek.
China Military Trains First PR Team
China military trains first public relations teamBy CHRISTOPHER BODEEN – 2 days ago
BEIJING (AP) — China's military is training propaganda teams for the first time to explain its actions to the outside world, as the traditionally insular and secretive force engages more with other countries' militaries and deploys its ships and personnel abroad.
An initial class of 51 officers graduated this week in an effort to "raise the opinion-forming ability of the force's foreign propaganda team and advance the innovation and development of the military propaganda work," the official People's Liberation Army Daily reported Friday.
The two-week training course included classes dealing with China's recent dispatch of ships to carry out anti-piracy patrols in the Gulf of Aden, as well as joint China-India anti-terror drills and other international missions, it said.

From CEO to Pizza Man
A friend just sent me this video via email and it's definitely worth sharing. Can you imagine going from from making $750,000 per year as a CEO to $7.29 an hour, plus tips as a Pizza Man? Well that's what happened to Ken Karpman. It's an interesting story, but at the end of the day, I respect him for putting his pride to the side and doing what is necessary to put food on his family's table.

Friday Battle of the Beyonce's: Featuring EGO
It is my pleasure to provide you with a little something special as you surf the net for your last hour and forty five minutes of work. So MY new theme music is Beyonce's song Ego. Yes, I said it. That's my song of the moment. So when I stumbled across what three female dancers say is the POSSIBLE choreography Beyonce may be using for the upcoming Ego video, it reminded me of a video I had seen last week on one of my favorite blogs, Crunk and Disorderly of a lovely young man performing the exact same routine LOL. So YOU be the judge on who did this routine the best!!! ENJOY!!!
New "Ick" Couple?
