Keyword Press Release
02/11/2004 10:56 AMHotspot firm issues press release with good keywords: When you see a
press release of this form, a company has paid Business Wire or
PRNewswire to distribute a press release that contains as many
business names as possible to meet keyword matches at stock and news
sites for investors and analysts who scan for information. In this
short release, the company mentions Subway (which is only tangentially
related, as the consultant they're trumpeting having hired is a
franchise holder) in the headline, and a host of firms in this
sentence: Currently, the company is targeting the ownership and
operation of successful franchises such as Dairy Queen (NYSE:BRK.a),
Subway, McDonalds (NYSE:MCD), Burger King, Baskin-Robbins, Ben &
Jerry's, Carls. Jr. (NYSE:CKR), TCBY Yogurt, and Mrs. Fields. Back
when Amazon.com's affiliate program for allowing sales to be referred
to them for commissions was new, the tiniest dotcoms would issue press
releases that they had "partnered" with Amazon.com when, in fact,
they'd just signed up as an affiliate. Amazon.com started enforcing a
contract provision that said affiliates weren't allowed to issue such
releases. This release goes a step further, as the company has no
direct relationship with any of the firms mentioned; this is just
unabashed PR keyword spamming. The company's own site only lists a
handful of locations in press releases; there's no location finder.
Did you notice I didn't mention the firm's name? I'm not out to give
them more indirect publicity....

Press Release, Spam, What's The
Difference?
Press Release, Spam, What's The
Difference?
07/29/2004 03:32 PMIt's amazing the level of stupidity to which PR people will sink.
Just two weeks after we wrote about
idioti
c PR people submitting press releases to us when we clearly ask
them not to, one company has sunk to a new low -- and it's making me
wonder if PR pitches are officially spam under the law. First,
instead of using the submission function, this PR spammer tracked down
my email address. Not hard to do, but if you want anyone here to
write about something, it makes our life much better to use the
submission page. That's why we have it. If you're going to make our
lives more difficult, why would we ever bother to make yours better by
giving you free publicity? If you can't take the time to actually
read the site and understand the process, why should we take the time
to hype up your fake news? However, instead of just sending the usual
note that PR people tend to do, this individual sent us FOUR press
releases in a row, all using CAPITAL LETTERS and all marked URGENT. I
honestly thought it was traditional spam at first, as I would any time
I received four emails in a row written in capital letters from
someone I didn't know. However, it's clearly been sent to us for
posting purposes. The company in question (who I won't bother to
name) has been mocked on certain other sites for its ability to take
whitebox laptops mark up the price to ridiculous levels and then
promote it as their own (you figure it out). None of the
announcements are even remotely interesting to our audience, and
anyone who had read Techdirt for more than a day would know not to
bother submitting them. It's no surprise, of course, that this guy
clearly does not read the site. However, when I looked closer at the
emails in question, I think I could make a very convincing case that
they are, indeed, spam as defined by the law. First, the message does
not include, as required, the address of the company sending the PR
spam. Second, the "from" line includes a name, but
no email
address. The guy didn't spoof a different email address, but
somehow fudged the headers so that there's no email address in the
from or reply-to fields. There is no option to opt-out. In fact,
it's not easy to email them back to ask to opt-out because there's no
reply-to email address. So, beyond just being entirely moronic, is
this company guilty of spamming?

Exclusive: Photoshop CS2 Press Release
Leaked
03/27/2005 06:40 PMThanks to
Drexthepimp for writing to Neowin about this one.
Seems as though Google indexed this Adobe press release a few days
ago, even thought Adobe has not made it public yet. (Scheduled for
release on April 4th) Photoshop CS2 is scheduled to ship for OSX and
Windows users sometime in May.
This press release for Photoshop 9 is scheduled for April, but it
came thick and fast when I searched for this anticipated App. Improved
file browser, HDR image support and firewire preview look cool for us
digital video fans, but there are changes to the layers pallete,
instancing etc. Not everything i wanted/wished for or even heard
rumoured, but good none the less.
A few highlights from the leaked release:
Photoshop CS2 integrates a new set of intuitive tools, including an
enhanced Spot Healing Brush, for handling common photographic problems
such as blemishes, red-eye, noise, blurring and lens distortion. Smart
Objects allow users to scale and transform images and vector
illustrations without losing image quality — as well as create linked
duplicates of embedded graphics — so that a single edit updates across
multiple iterations.
Photoshop CS2 users will test the limits of creativity with new tools
like Vanishing Point and Image Warping. Vanishing Point cuts tedious
graphic and photo retouching tasks by allowing users to clone, paint
and transform image objects while retaining visual perspective.
Reinventing workflows such as product packaging development, Image
Warping makes it easy to fold, stretch, pull, twist and wrap an image
into shape by selecting an on-demand preset or dragging custom control
points.

iPass Releases Press Release with
McDonald's Name in It
11/10/2003 10:53 PMMcDonald's will have its networks certified as Enterprise Ready by
iPass: Now the ostensible purpose of this announcement is that
McDonald's restaurants with Wi-Fi access will be available to
customers on the iPass collective network, which comprises over 2,000
hotspots and 400,000 users across the companies they serve. But read a
little closer and you find that the three networks that McDonald's
currently uses to run its Wi-Fi service -- Wayport, Cometa, and
Toshiba -- are either already certified or soon to be. So what's the
news here? Two pieces of news, really. First, McDonald's is making a
corporate-level commitment to iPass, which means that even if they use
other networks, they'll ostensibly make sure that other operators are
or will be certified. Second, McDonald's gave iPass permission to use
its name in a press release, which can't hurt on the credibility side.
A little extra news at the end notes that McDonald's in China will
also become iPass Enterprise Ready. Because all iPass customers have a
directory of hotspots that they are really required to use if they are
to use hotspots at all -- the software can be set to only allow access
to hotspots on iPass's list -- this provides McDonald's with more of
those business bodies they want....

Blogs Offer New Opportunities For Press
Release Ridiculousness
06/22/2005 02:17 AMClueless PR people absolutely
love to come out with the most
idiotic press releases (many of which they send to us here at
Techdirt). Among our favorites are announcements about how a certain
company had a "successful appearance" at a trade show -- as if the
expectation was that their booth was going to catch fire and burn to
the ground. It appears that blogs are offering yet another
opportunity for the bogus press release. Witness an announcement
today from a well known (and highly promotional) web hosting/domain
name registration company (no need to name them) that came out with
the absolutely ridiculous announcement that their CEO's blog
is the
23rd most popular blog out there. First off, since when do you
celebrate being the 23rd most popular of anything, unless you're into
obscure
literary references? However, even more bizarre is how the
company came to this conclusion -- which could be easily disputed.
There are probably a hundred different lists of the most popular 100
blogs out there, all measured in completely different, and often
contradictory ways. So you could pick any way you want -- but, in
this case, the company has
combined two different methods,
because no single method alone actually proved the point. Instead,
they pulled up the site's Alexa ranking, which is
notorious
ly inaccurate in being a real representation of traffic.
Then, the company went down Technorati's Top 100 list (again,
wildly inaccurate in some ways), which the site in question
isn't
actually listed in and compared those sites' Alexa numbers to the
CEO's blog's Alexa ranking, and found that it would rank about 23rd in
Alexa rankings, if you had a Technorati 100 list weighted by Alexa
rankings -- a combination that makes no sense. Amusingly, Techdirt's
Alexa ranking (which we agree is indicative of pretty much nothing) is
about the same as this particular CEO's, so perhaps
we're the
24th most popular blog out there. Somehow, I doubt it, but
maybe we should send out a press release, just in case.

T-Mobile and Comcast Produce Press
Release, Hotspot
05/27/2004 03:17 PMYour editor has been trying to sort these story out for a couple of
days: T-Mobile's hotzone powered by Comcast broadband: The problem
with a story like this is that it's been given enormous play because
it's a major city and a large area. But it's planned to be a paid
location after the first six months, and it's not particularly
interesting as a "partnership," because Comcast's role is mostly
marketing. Sure, they're bringing in bandwidth, but any Internet
provider would do. Likewise, T-Mobile has no other outdoor hotzones
that I'm aware of, and it's unclear what the point is of this one: a
trial balloon? The press release and coverage cites the fact that
Comcast customers have access to T-Mobile's hotspot service. Sure, and
so do I: the rate, as far as I can tell, is the same. Again,
marketing. I thought about not covering this at all, but it's worth
explicating the event. Meanwhile, in cities around the country,
hotzones like NewburyOpen.net in Boston and Battery Park in Manhattan
are sprouting that are commercially supported free locations designed
to be free indefinitely and focusing on areas with high appropriate
traffic....
