This link deserves to go viral!

Now here's an inventive use of Social Media →
Rick Bakas is the Director of Social Media for St. Supéry winery in Napa. There are so many things to like about what he’s doing and how it intermingles seamlessly with PR and Promotions.

What Copywriters Have Known All Along →
By way of a Stanford University Study. “I think we’re in the midst of a literacy revolution the likes of which we haven’t seen since Greek civilization,” says Andrea Lunsfod, professor of writing and rhetoric. For Lunsford, technology isn’t killing our ability to write. It’s reviving it—and pushing our literacy in bold new directions.

Moving Piece in NYT on Ted Kennedy's Final Days →
My dear friend Tony pointed me to this NYTimes article on Ted Kennedy. As Tony said, it’s a deeply moving piece—kudos to the writer, Mark Leibovich. For me, it was an inspiring read about how one can ‘be’ in the end. We’ll all have that one day—our own end.

It holds all of your most used links so you can get to them quickly from wherever you are—meaning, it’s a moveable feast: use it at home, use it at work. Sold.

Hema - Dutch Department Store →
Let’s see. Does viral media work? Indeed, it does: ten minutes ago, I’d never heard of this store, HEMA, in the Netherlands. I got this via an email from a friend, and the site is not even in English. It’s getting passed around via emails and posts like this one. Just click on the title here which is a link—the page will do its thing.
