A Cab Ride Story

Random e-mails from friends like this area amazing. Here's an excerpt of an e-mail I received this morning, outlining a late night cab ride in D.C.

This type of scenario is why my friends should be followed around with cameras...


"I don't know who said it first nor how long it took for this interaction to begin, but the cab we jumped into was one of the best smelling cabs I have ever been in and we couldn't help but say something to the driver. He was gracious for the compliment and proud of this achievement, but the excitement seemed to carry over more into myself and C. We couldn't stop talking about the wonderful smell. We told him that he should bottle the creation and sell it to other cab drivers, that his cab was the best smelling cab in all of D.C. We even sang songs about the smell to the tune of Janet Jackson's "What Have You Done for Me Lately" singing, "What Have You Fre-Breezed for Me Lately" We were having such a great time, singing and laughing, all in our short 6 minute cab ride across town. He loved it and he loved us. In true form, C even made up a song on the spot about his cab. It was great."

Working at/ breaking into the PR and Communications Agency Field

Mary Fletcher Jones has posted the last segment from my interview with her for Conversations in Public Relations. Check it out below. Again, I'll say the disclaimer that my thoughts may not be perfect or complete, so if you have anything to add leave it in the comments!

And just in case you were wondering: yes, that is me in HD.

@meggiepoo's Twitter Success Tips

I don't really consider myself a huge Twitter success yet- I have a decent following and a tweet a lot though. I don't have an enormous following, a great niche or a business to promote. I just have fun. But I know a thing or two about how to help businesses and brands on Twitter, and I talked to Mary Fletcher Jones with Conversations in Public Relations about how individuals can test the waters with this platform and gain more followers.

My tips and strategies won't work for everyone, and if you have any to add please comment! I'd love to hear what you think and how you use Twitter!

Why I Joined Washington Women in Public Relations

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of sitting down with Mary Fletcher Jones and talking to her about my involvement with Washington Women in Public Relations for her show: Conversations in PR.

I had never done anything like this before but she was super helpful- telling me which angle was best and letting me practice/ do-over when I needed.

Check it out below, and also check out WWPR and our 20th Annual PR Woman of the Year luncheon coming up!

Remember when times were simpler... on Facebook?

I love the Way Back Machine. It will take you to any Web site archived on the Web somewhere.
I tried to login to the old Facebook, the way it was when it wasn't open to the public and only a few colleges had access.

Remember this?











It wouldn't log me in to see how things were back then, and I can't even remember. Gone are the days without newsfeeds, wall to wall messages and Fan pages. I like the new way of Facebook, it's fun, but wouldn't it be easier to teach our parents how to use Facebook by using the older model?

I want these socks.
