Social media predictions for 2008
By: Justin Lopinot
12/28/2007 - It's “year in review” time at every publication and blog on the planet. Topics range from music to news to social networking. As 2007 comes to a close, I thought it would be fun to discuss predictions on social media and communications for 2008. What…
Flexing for Customers
By: Christi Dixon
12/26/2007 - I thought this post was extremely enlightening, given that many St. Louis businesses are adjusting schedules to accomodate the Hwy. 40 closure...Successful flexibility requires rethinking the way many of us having been working for decades. That includes redefining good customer service. Maybe accessibility really is…

By: Christi Dixon
12/21/2007 - For those looking for an amusing read, ask a fellow Standing member for a copy of our "Holiday Survival Guide: Tips for Managing Tough Holiday Issues." (Thanks, Justin, for tracking down the image!) I plan to share with all of my holiday guests this year…
WWJD: PR stunt uses Christmas lore to promote hotel
By: Justin Lopinot
12/19/2007 - Terrible media pitches make me laugh, often by their mere stupidity (for examples, see here and here). But when a painfully obvious PR stunt somehow garners international attention, something just isn't right. Take the headline-grabbing story about Josephs and Marys being offered a free hotel…
Great Overview of Social Media Tools
By: Pat Simpson
12/18/2007 - OK, I'll admit it. I'm over 30. Far past 30. Even the Business Journal doesn't have an issue devoted to my decade! (30 Under 30, 40 Under 40, you get the idea.) But I like to think I'm relatively tech-savvy nonetheless. I used to carry…

12/17/2007 - The Where Do You Stand? readers who make their homes outside of St. Louis may not be aware of the doom about to be faced by nearly all St. Louis-area residents on January 2, 2008. All lanes of 1-64/US40, the main artery for St. Louis…

And, guess what? Standing Partnership is currently seeking high-qualified intern candidates! So get those…
How I Started Standing: Part Three
By: Maria Donaldson
12/13/2007 - I fell into PR by accident. In college, I was drawn to Student Activities Board, Student Government and Greek Life – any opportunity to plan events, lead projects, be creative, research and write. Even though I wasn't majoring in communications I was inadvertently studying it.…
Exploring Social Media in Schools
By: Marijean Jaggers
12/12/2007 - I participated in a panel discussion today at CATEC, the technical education center for the Charlottesville/Albemarle region in Virginia. CATEC Director Darah Bonham gathered to the table local bloggers, social networkers, podcasters and education administrators to open the discussion of how we integrate social media…
The Smallest Actions Can Transform Your Business
By: Marijean Jaggers
12/12/2007 - I'm reading a book called Selling the Invisible, recommended to me by a client. In it, the author writes about the Butterfly Effect, as a method of illustrating how even the smallest action, like the flutter of a butterfly's wings, can make a difference. Today,…
