When spamming someone bites you back

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: October 31, 2007

I am almost in shock of this post on the wired editor’s personal blog that discloses the emails that he has blocked because he got unsolicited emails pitching Press Releases for products, services, and who knows what else because he is a PR person in public lists. I have to say it was a bold [...]

New Hospitality Marketing Trend

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: October 31, 2007

I walk to work here in Chicago and have noticed that there are more small boutique hotels popping up around downtown all the time. I have also been reading about the hospitality industry changing it’s strategy from big brands that offer exactly the same boring box rooms in every city to individually styled local flavor [...]

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: October 31, 2007

Review of Sidestep for traveling

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: October 31, 2007

I first heard about sidestep.com for traveling about 3 years ago. Someone in my office was using it to find travel deals on flights they had to make for work. The company did not have a policy about using a travel agency so it was up to each person to find their own flights and book them [...]

How to prevent cancer? Be thin.

Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: October 31, 2007

I have been more interested in how people can cut their risk of cancer latley since I found out that despite my family history of no cancer I am just as much a possible target as anyone else. Today the BBC email I get reported on a new study that had 10 points to follow [...]
