The influence of text messaging

This morning on my drive to work I received a text message from a neighbor about a speed trap near our subdivision. I was already past the area and somehow managed to escape getting a ticket, probably because I left extra early today.

But the thought occurred to me: this is the first time I’ve been warned about potential negative consequences by a text message.

How many of us find text messaging creeping into our daily lives, including client activities? Have you ever sent a text message to a reporter?

Okay all you independent public relations practitioners, it’s time to commit!

With the launch of ipa.prsa.org we have the new-fangled ability to stay in touch using RSS technology. I know, many of you are wondering, what is RSS and what does it stand for? Do a Google search and many, many explanatory links will magically appear (isn’t Google great?).

Hopefully most of us are educated when it comes to RSS and Web 2.0 terminology since we counsel our clients on the like.
