The recent economic climate has made a significant impact on the market; for both companies and employees. Always keep in mind that a good relationship with a solid agency will pay great dividends.
Not sure? When’s the best time to develop a ‘relationship’ with your attorney? Dunno, but I’ll tell you when it’s NOT the best time: 3am, in jail, asking to borrow the yellow pages to make a phone call...

‘You only get one chance to make a first impression’? It’s cliché, albeit with good reason…
‘PEOPLE WATCHING’
Ever find yourself sitting at the airport or standing in line at the grocery store, and just observing the behavior and body language of those around you? You might be a ‘People Watcher’.
Do you ever meet someone and IMMEDIATELY forget their name? I do! You are likely a ‘People Watcher’.

Today, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Yelp.com, the social media site that lets "reap people" leave "real reviews" of businesses and restaurants has been targeted in a lawsuit that alleges that Yelp.com employees have engaged in extortion. The suit alleges that if a negative review of a restaurant is posted Yelp workers will call the restaurant and offer an advertising package that will remove the negative review for a price around $300.
The case is pending in a Los Angeles federal court.
This case raises some very serious questions for Yelp.com users as well as brand owners.
- Is it ethical for review sites to allow businesses to "buy off" negative reviews?
- Are sites like Yelp.com important to your brand?
- Does this lawsuit give you second thoughts about buying advertising from Yelp.com?

Well, actually NO. But that doesn’t mean YOU are obligated to work with THEM…this is a Question for YOU, and YOU alone.
Here’s the bottom line: Do you want to be a Trusted Advisor or a Vendor? Would you prefer a relationship based upon Collaboration with Mutual Trust or a Competitive ‘old school’ mentality where someone’s gonna win and someone’s gonna lose…
Unless someone has recently been appointed ‘Recruiting Czar ala the Federal Government, and subsequently mandated to working with any/all customers. That is, if you wish to continue to receive a handout, err…uhh, stimulus package disbursement/funds. But I digress…

It appears that Facebook is reading private messages - and banning people if they don't like the content. While the terms and conditions may basically allow Facebook to do this, the question is, should Facebook be reading your private messages and looking at your private photos?
Earlier this week, James Amato, a friend of mine, discovered his Facebook account had been disabled. At first, I thought that it was no big deal, but the more I think about it, the more concerned I have become that Facebook may have their employees reviewing private conversations and content -- and then using that to disable accounts. While that may be inside the bounds of Facebook's terms of use, it may be out of bounds of their user's expectations, just like last year's Beacon Debacle.
