That whole gift giving conundrum? Solved.

That whole gift giving conundrum? Solved.

It's a Winter Wonderla-fffuuuuuuuuuuu

Today, thanks to the Christmas miracle of procrastination, my holiday shopping list will take me from the comfort of my home to Union Square, Times Square, Herald Square and hell, just to round it out I’m thinking of visits to Washington Square, Madison Square and the Red Square.

So while the rest of you are taking pictures of snowy garbage can lids with the macro lenses on your Nikon D-9-millions edit: Canon EOS Rebel XTi Mark 5-D-6000’s, I will be fighting through tourists and perfume sommeliers for the last.great.gift that makes me original and worthwhile to the ones I love.

It’s a tough job, but I’ve got an iron will and a $30 pair of boots purchased from Payless yesterday after the clerk assured me they were waterproof and who am I not to believe someone in an obvious position of credibility and expertise?

Godspeed you guys. Today, after said photo-frolics and requisite grilled cheese/tomato soup consumption, as you sit on the couch with your hot chocolates and Sunday sources of news, information and culture, think of your friend Adam; braving the elements (and visiting Germans. Why so many Germans?) for New York, for America, for you.

"What about the big PR moment? This is also not so simple. To get beyond a TechCrunch launch feature, you need to build a relationship with journalists and analysts. They need to speak to your customers and learn what they think of you. They want to see detailed market analysis and to gain a deep understanding of why this market is important. Beyond press mentions, PR is about relationships. If you want to get quoted, you need to be an easy source—be accessible, willing to give information on background, and don’t expect to be quoted.

There is no linear ROI in PR, which can be hard for techies to understand. It’s all about relationships and patience. Once you are mentioned in one publication, then it becomes much easier to leverage that into other coverage because you have a stamp of approval. But make no mistake, PR is a never ending process. One TechCrunch article may be a good beginning but it is never sufficient to ensure the success of a company. So all that time you spend in stealth not talking to journalists is time your competition has to build a strong relationship with the media while you sit around admiring yourself in the mirror.
