iPhone

Apple's newest product is called the iPhone. It combines a cellular phone, iPod, and internet connection into one. http://www.apple.com/iphone/hello/CherryFlava's blog talks about how an image of the iPhone appeared on a screen in New York City. The image appeared when the product was being launched and only appeared for a few seconds. Onlookers stared at the sudden image. It proved to be more effective than a longer advertisement that was played over and over again. This brief glimpse of the new technology created a buzz. In June when this product finally makes its debut, it will without a doubt be a product placement giant. Just like the iPod before it, the iPhone will surely be featured with every hot celebrity on all the coolest shows.

I also promoted my blog this week by posting comments on other blogs that I found interesting. I found a really interesting blog by a guy named Jeremy Pepper. He founded his own PR firm called POP! PR. http://pop-pr.blogspot.com/index.html I really enjoyed his blog because he wasn't TOO into the internet. He talked about how blogging may be fun, but experiencing life is more important. In a field such as public relations it is very important to build relationships and network. Knowing people is sometimes more important than writing about trends on your blog. I like this persepective. Blogging can be a useful tool, but it should not take the place of a real life.
