Keyword Press Release

Keyword Press Release 02/11/2004 10:56 AM
Hotspot 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 PM
It'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?

iPass Releases Press Release with
McDonald's Name in It

iPass Releases Press Release with
McDonald's Name in It 11/10/2003 10:53 PM
McDonald'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....

Exclusive: Photoshop CS2 Press Release
Leaked

Exclusive: Photoshop CS2 Press Release
Leaked 03/27/2005 06:40 PM
Thanks 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.

T-Mobile and Comcast Produce Press
Release, Hotspot

T-Mobile and Comcast Produce Press
Release, Hotspot 05/27/2004 03:17 PM
Your 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....

Blogs Offer New Opportunities For Press
Release Ridiculousness

Blogs Offer New Opportunities For Press
Release Ridiculousness 06/22/2005 02:17 AM
Clueless 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.

Press Release - NewsGator Technologies
and About.Com Agreement Allows Users to
Access New RSS Feeds Within Microsoft
Outlook 10/28/2003 11:09 PM

First In Series of Moves To Add Valuable Content For Users

DENVER, Colo. -- Aug. 19, 2003 -- NewsGator Technologies has partnered with About.com to include over 400 RSS feeds in NewsGator 1.3's new feed wizard, which means that users will be able to find and subscribe to any of About.com's feeds with only a few clicks. Adding these feeds marks the first in a series of announcements designed to add important and productive content for NewsGator users, while at the same time making the content easier to find.

NewsGator 1.3 is a news aggregator which runs inside Microsoft Outlook, and retrieves news from news sites, weblogs, NNTP (Usenet) newsgroups, and other information sources that support the RSS syndication format, and automatically integrates the news items into Microsoft Outlook folders.

About.com, the Web's largest content destination, recently created more than 400 RSS feeds, covering each of their content areas. Including these feeds in NewsGator's feed wizard will expand the reach and visibility of these feeds to NewsGator users. "We're very excited to be partnering with NewsGator Technologies to include our wide range of content feeds within NewsGator," said Ron McCoy, CTO of About.com. "We believe that publishing our content this way, combined with the ease-of-use and corporate reach of NewsGator, will increase the visibility of our content to a new audience and make it easier for our current audience to keep up with the topics in which they're interested."

NewsGator users can monitor the ever-growing number of information sources supporting RSS syndication. News can be sorted, organized, grouped, or searched in countless ways, and features like offline reading make this information readily accessible at any time. NewsGator 1.3 works with Microsoft Outlook 2000 or later, and is available immediately from http://www.newsgator.com. Pricing is $29 (U.S.) per copy, with quantity discounts available.

NewsGator 1.3 Tightens Integration with Microsoft Outlook and Adds Newsgroup Support

NewsGator, the Premier News Aggregator for Outlook, Allows Users to Subscribe to Syndicated RSS News Feeds, and is First to Add Support for Newsgroups within Outlook

Denver, CO - August 5, 2003 - NewsGator 1.3, a new version of the popular news aggregator for Microsoft Outlook, was announced today by NewsGator Technologies. NewsGator retrieves news from news sites, weblogs, and other information sources that support the RSS syndication format, and automatically integrates the news items into Microsoft Outlook folders. In addition to RSS feeds, NewsGator 1.3 adds the ability to subscribe to NNTP (Usenet) newsgroups, the first tool of its kind to provide this capability within Microsoft Outlook.

The continued growth of RSS (Rich Site Summary) news syndication feeds makes NewsGator an extremely powerful way to stay abreast of rapidly changing information. Adding additional information sources such as newsgroups to NewsGator 1.3 further enhances this capability, bringing more business information into Outlook without driving users elsewhere to subscribe or search for it.

Version 1.3 also adds many frequently requested features to NewsGator, including tighter folder integration and support for multiple Outlook profiles. Tighter folder integration makes mapping folders to subscriptions easier, and support for multiple Outlook profiles helps corporate users access important information when on the road and disconnected from their Exchange server.

Further enhancing NewsGator’s offline support is the ability to compose new posts offline, which is a significant benefit for corporate users. Users can now compose new posts while offline and disconnected, and then post them later when they have a live network connection.

"The new support for newsgroups within Version 1.3 demonstrates NewsGator's leading edge capabilities for multiple information sources," said Chris Pirillo, president of Lockergnome. "This feature combined with the new offline posting support makes NewsGator the perfect information management tool for consumers and corporate users alike."

NewsGator users can monitor the ever-growing number of information sources supporting RSS syndication. News can be sorted, organized, grouped, or searched in countless ways, and features like offline reading make this information readily accessible at any time. NewsGator 1.3 works with Microsoft Outlook 2000 or later, and is available immediately from http://www.newsgator.com. Pricing is $29 (U.S.) per copy, with quantity discounts available.
