Hi Rick,

My name is Jen and I live in Baltimore. This is unrelated, but I have been surfing for someone creative to fill me in on Boston neighborhoods. My best friend and I are moving to Boston and we want to line up some cool neighborhoods to see when we visit. I am 33, a high school art teacher, a jeweler. We like a more eclectic community, no chain restaurants, dive bars, etc. Any suggestions.

Maybe you can help?
Jen

Hey Rick,
I just finished watching a webinar that you did on business and marketing uses of social media and I was just browsing your Blog's. I am putting together a series of Virtual sessions on networking and marketing through social media. Let me know if you would be interested in being a presenter.
Thanks,

Hi,

I’m David, here on behalf of Doritos. After looking at your blog, I thought you and your audience might be interested in an innovative advertising campaign for the Super Bowl. This year, Doritos presents the “Crash the Super Bowl” contest, incorporating user generated videos and shelling out $5 million in prize money. Out of 4,000 entries, 6 finalists have been selected and the winning contestant’s video will air during the Super Bowl.

The finalists’ videos, B-Roll and stills are available at http://www.magicbulletmedia.com/MNR/DoritosSuperBowl for free downloading and sharing.

Can I send you the press release as an attachment?

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks

David
