LOL - apologies Jane

Lisa Stone — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 18:12:09 -0500

I know some pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, anti-war conservatives (in the economic sense). I'll remove the label now...

Best,
Lisa

Enjoyed your newsletter, esp. the part where I was called Conservative :)) I'm a pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, anti-war Liberal.

But I applaud the debate you're engendering on the site--it's refreshing.

I think that you shouldn't

I think that you shouldn't involve political figures at all. All of us are tired of hearing the same old things. And, in the end, why them? Are they special? No, they're humans just like us so we don't need any of their advice.

Follow Twitter comments about blogher

While I'll be (yet again) in twitter nirvana unless there is wifi - yes, no sim card with data on it for your visitors from Europe - there is an easy way for the rest of you to follow all public tweets about blogher:

http://summize.com/search?q=blogher

This site is not only easy to follow but I would even suggest you set up an RSS reader on your mobile phone for slim and cheap following (=not much traffic due to RSS neither on your phone bill nor does it require a lot of traffic through a possible slow wifi)

You can find me on twitter here:

You can be the first with a real-live copy in your hot little hands!

Quick question, Lisa, about

lolagoetz — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 01:19:00 -0500

Quick question, Lisa, about the signing. Will there be advance copies available at BlogHer? Or is it more of a meet & greet the authors who will be at the con?

There's nothing like citing the URL, "league-of-maternal-justice." It makes me want to strap on my invisible plane and go avenge things. Fortunately, you all have created the outlet for the rest of us... ;)

Touche Pam! If I had a dollar for every woman who said this about people who pitch to her...because most bloggers are open to the pitching conversation. Just want to be listened to first...

Thanks -- look forward to your next report!

Case Study Examples

Pam — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 22:23:49 -0500

I'll start keeping an eye on things but I can tell you a few things off the top of my head that will seem common sense to you, certainly, as far as what works...

A real two way conversation. I try to respond to all the pitches I get in some way - sorry, this isn't for me, yes, I'd like to hear more, whoa, I want a piece of that. Even if the PR folks CAN'T give me a free trip to Barbados, I'd like to know that the loop is closed. I don't like it when people get in touch and then, don't respond because I've asked something they have to say no to. What, I've never heard "no" before? If my response isn't acknowledged, the PR mail is just spam.

Also good? Actually reading my blog. When I mentioned on my blog that I was giving away a book I reviewed, the publisher's PR guy contacted me to say they'd like to be the ones to give it away. Big win for them, and now, I have a relationship with that PR rep. I'm totally going to pay attention when he drops me email, aren't I?

I'll keep my eyes open. I find the whole business fascinating, now that I'm on the receiving end.

Keep up the good work, Lisa.

Thanks for your mention of League of Maternal Justice and MOMocrats, two sites I'm proud to be affiliated with.

Women on the web have been tapping their feet for awhile. I'm glad to see our voices are starting to be heard.

Anali, I wonder if some men feel the same way?

Lisa Stone — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 10:15:00 -0500

Do some men who don't have or who have decided not to have children feel the same exclusion from all this family messaging that some women do? Worth pondering... thanks for your comment, I'm so glad you liked it.
