Guerrilla Social Media Marketing – Part 2 – with Shane Gibson : FUEL RADIO
"Hi Shane, Really engaging interview. I'm wondering as blogging and social media go mainstream (Is it too early to make that assessment?) whether the value of these technologies for true guerrilla marketing will diminish. As it takes more and more to get attention online, even when being more intimate and engaged with customers, will there be an increased expense (in cost of time if nothing else) and a decrease in the "unconventional" and "unexpected" as one Wikipedia article defines these techniques. In short, how long until social media ceases to be a guerrilla technique at all? "Easy Market Research with 12 Great Poll Sites
"Another great list of resources, Fiona. I'm wondering, what kind of experience have you had with these. Does anyone stand out?

MyNewsDesk and the Future of PR
"It looks pretty interesting, Martin, but from your description I am trying to figure out how it differs from all the online press release sites out there, Article Base, PR Web et al. To my mind, one of the issues with these sites is that they have very quickly become SEO tools rather than a resource for PR people, journalists and bloggers to exchange information. There may be quite a different motive and functionality when press releases become keyworded content for an inbound link building strategy than when they are a simple attempt to get out information to the new or traditional media about a product or service.
