With today's overwhelming emphasis on interactivity, social media and techno-visual elements in public relations, websites and apps that can integrate all these things are quickly becoming a necessity. While I agree that digital communication is vital to success in the PR industry, it can be difficult to keep track of it all, especially since status updates and timelines change literally every second.
Storify, released for public use in April 2011, has your Internet integration needs covered. Called a "half blog platform and half social media tool" by PC Mag, Storify allows you to create, link and upload your own original content and combine your material with others' from different web platforms. The fusion of multiple perspectives displays a diverse storyboard of opinions, ideas, feedback, comments, tweets, photos and more. Storify emphasizes pulling related content from all over the web into your storyboards to merge others' voices with your own. The web platform claims to help "make sense of what people post on social media." Storify can integrate content from a multitude of sources onto your boards including: other Storify accounts, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Tumblr, Chute, SoundCloud, Disqus, TVTag, StockTwits, embedded URLs and more.
While Storify's implementation may differ per each user's individual needs, some include: using it as a professional photo portfolio accompanied by tweets and comments from satisfied customers, journaling about summer trips equipped with photos and videos of all your most memorable moments, and using it as a crowdsourcing method to gain an experiential perspective of current events. With Storify's multimedia capabilities and unique high-tech storytelling feel, it is a perfect platform for PR professionals to curate their brand identity through visual examples. Here are some specific ways that Storify can be used for PR:
- Organize and measure coverage – PR pros always hope their time-consuming and reporter-specific pitching practices will return positive media coverage. As you peruse the web looking for hits, Storify makes it easy to place and organize the hits on your boards for clients to see. Not only can you record the media attention you or your clients receive, your boards can also record the public's feedback via social media postings. Any client is sure to appreciate the range in perspectives – from a large national news source to the everyday consumer.
- Allow clients to see results – Show them what you did. Storify is a great place to refer your executives or clients to actual visuals of the coverage you garnered. Blog reviews, consumer tweets, videos of people trying the product, radio air checks, podcasts, etc. are great to show clients so they get a first-hand look at the variety of coverage. Traditional reports are still important, but accompanying them with visual documentation might make a huge difference in the satisfaction of your clients or executives.
- Showcase your work environment – Last year, as reported by Edelman's 13th Annual Trust Barometer, media was the third least trusted community of professionals. Be transparent and improve your communal image by sharing photos of your office's employees, lunch outings or employee spotlights. Don't forget to keep it interesting by incorporating videos, tweets, Facebook posts, etc. All these elements will help you cultivate and communicate your company's culture and show off your more personable side.
- House press kits and promotional materials – Make it easy for people to find your company's or client's information. Contact information and links to press kits should be made available consistently across all your Internet-based platforms so reporters won't have to do too much digging. Storify also enables you to make press kits more interactive and multi-dimensional with integrated Internet content.
- Construct visually appealing portfolios to boost your credibility – Employers and your professional network will certainly be intrigued by a resume packed with links to specific projects, tweets endorsing your work, video compilations, podcasts and audio you've created, and whatever else you think will make the show of your work look unique. With employers spending just seconds on each resume, a Storify board is sure to capture their attention. It is also a great way to show off your advanced social media and multimedia skills.
With companies like GE, NPR News, MSNBC and Edelman already using Storify, it has been proven effective for a variety of industries and businesses. Its method of integrating digital platforms makes it especially valuable for people in the media industry. Next time you go to complete a final report or help your client roll out a new product or service, try using Storify to keep you organized and on top of this new media craze.
Check out how I used Storify to document social media's explosion over Team USA's 2014 World Cup goalie Tim Howard and his 16 saves:
Stay tuned…

A lot of us, ladies, think of the wedding day as the BIG day! A day where everything must go according to plans, and nothing is supposed to go wrong, right? What comes along with it? Panic! Yeah… the organizing of the event from flowers, caterers, music, the cake, cards, setting, the dress… YOU NAME IT!
Well, luckily for you… "hannayome" is here!
Hannayome, which happend to mean "bride" in Japanese, is a bridal magazine and brainchild of Mariam AlSuwailem and Haya AlKholaifi who packed everything for you -everything you can think of and need- to plan the BIG day. Think of it as THE little handy guide! Now that will save you the time, effort, and headache!
The magazine will be free of charge and will be found in salons, clinics, confectioneries, jewelers, flower shops, and any other locations that would commonly serve a Bride on her big day. All advertisers are reference and not commercial, so you'll have all the information you need from the first page to the last.
'Hannayome' was launched under Rassill Publishing & Distribution Co., Mariam and Haya's mother company. For more information, you can contact Mariam Al-Suwailem or Haya Al-Kholaifi at firstname.lastname@example.com, or go to www.rassillinfo.com.
Read more about them on Bazaar February 2010 issue 🙂
So please join them in the unveiling of Hannayome, Kuwait's first wedding guide, on Wednesday February 3rd 2010 in AlFares Jewelers – Shuwaikh, opposite Tilal Complex.
For more info, call 9991-5233/44
While in Bahrain, my sister spotted this sign… A highway named after Sheikh Jaber 😀 So I tried my best to take a picture of it 🙂
Blushberry also snapped this picture in Adliya of Kuwait Avenue 😉
I saw this video, which I loved, on Blushberry! Enjoy 😉
Uptill1 have some nice pictures of the event that you can check: Day 1 and Day 2
What do you think of this ad?
Whats your favorite mushroom soup?
Mine is definitley is Riccardo's, but I am not a big fan of hotel restaurants…. Well, they are -to me- for special occasions with family or significant others. One of my friend suggested I try Nino's, as he thinks its the best in town.
I posted that question last year on Kuwait & Food and got some interesting answers. Since then I have been trying out different soups at different restaurants. Le Notre's soup was suggested by a couple of people… so I tried it and it didnt meet expectations, it was just okay (I remember trying years back and it was way better)! I tried Saso's and did not like it. Lorenzo's wasnt bad… and it hasnt changed for years! Nice! So now I have Paul and Napket on my list…. Or any other suggestions you have?
Last week, during my lunch break, I tried Casper & Gambini's.
The soup is not bad at all, but it did not beat Riccardo's! It was a bit oily at the top! I also ordered iced tea in citron flavor
Well, not recommended… their other iced teas are way better. I like the mint iced tea, the one with cinnamon sticks in and a lemon wedge! And the organic iced tea, which I happen to have a picture of as well 😉
Well back to the main topic… Mushroom soups!!! Any recommendations?
My sister sometimes make herself anise tea using star anise. I tried one with her… it smells really good, with a spicy scent tingle!
She started drinking it when she heard/read somewhere about its health benefit and how it works on boosting the immune system (specially with the swine flu craze) – (read about its health benefits here)

Deb Bailey: Welcome to the Secrets of Success blog, Ashley. Please share how you got started as an entrepreneur.
Ashley Northington: Glad to be here, Deb. I started my business at the encouragement of my friend, Raymond, a fellow entrepreneur. He was gearing up to produce several live events and he thought my background as a communications professional would be perfect to help him promote his urban concert series. We did amazingly well. Together, we produced shows that brought in talent such as Kevin Hart, Erykah Badu, Monica, Mint Condition, Anthony Hamilton, Chrisette Michele, and many others.
My work in media relations and brand management shined. I helped him sell out countless shows, and through strategic media placements and thoughtful social media strategy, we secured millions in brand impressions. Here's the thing: I did all this work as a passion project, a hobby. I did not ask for payment and did not even think about payment. At the time, I worked a very demanding and very well paid fulltime job that paid my bills.
Although my friend was ultimately very successful, I saw Raymond struggle a great deal trying to produce those live events. I looked at my work with him as pure fun. It was exciting. Plus, I felt I was helping him – it was like I was paying him back for everything he had done for me. It was he who helped me learn several valuable lessons about entrepreneurship – especially rebounding from failure, unyielding persistence, and determination to do a job well done.
Eventually, others began to ask me if I could help them. It was at that point that I thought, 'Oh! I can do this for other people – and get PAID to do it.' Thus, DENOR was born on June 7, 2010.
It wasn't until about three years later, in 2013, where I began to wonder if I should try to make it on my own as a fulltime entrepreneur. I spent several months agonizing over what I should do. By this time, I had moved into another comfortable job, doing something I basically liked, but I was certainly not fulfilled. The way I saw it, I had three choices: 1) become a fulltime entrepreneur; 2) stay put; and 3) go get another job. Like I said, I internalized these three choices, but I did not make a move until I was sure I had done the right thing. And then, I didn't even have to move. It just happened. The stars aligned and I became a fulltime entrepreneur.
That decision has been one of the most painful and joyful decisions of my life. While I'm still striving for more success, I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
Deb: Are there any "lessons learned" that you'd like to share?
Ashley: I have learned several lessons through my own entrepreneurial process and through the processes of many of my clients and business friends.
I think there are three that are most important: 1) It is not enough to just have an idea or plan, you have to implement it; 2) It is not enough to know what someone else charges or know what is standard in your industry, you have to understand brand positioning, demand, and your own unique worth; and 3) success is not reserved for those who know the most or look the best or know the most people; it is reserved for those who put the most focus on working for it consistently. It is reserved for those who can endure the wins of the process as well as the losses of the process - no matter how painful, embarrassing, or difficult.
As it relates to implementation, I think many business owners or aspiring ones get caught in three traps. The first is the idea or plan trap. This is where we have so many ideas swirling around in our heads and so many plans that we cripple ourselves with thoughts instead of freeing our idea or plan with action. The second is the consumption trap. This is where we consume so much of other people's content and we read so much about how to do things that we never actually get around to doing them.
We voice what we are going to do, but we never really actually DO. And the last trap is the 'changing courses' trap. This happens when we have a plan, we're on the path to implementation, and then something comes up and scares us – a customer gets mad, a vendor botches, or we run out of cash – and then we buckle. Instead of implementing the plan with fidelity, we let our insecurities consume us and we change directions, never allowing success to take root in the plan we initially set out to deliver.
As it relates to value, I have had a long journey here, both professionally with my own company and socially through the experiences of my clients and friends. I am embarrassed to admit that when I first began pricing for my services that my monthly retainer was less than what I now charge per hour. People were getting thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of services, and I was getting pennies. I had a 'generalist' mindset, even though I was positioning my personal and business brands as 'expert' in my field. I wrongly thought that I could get more of the pie if I gave more and more.
Of course, as I always say now, you do not get more of the pie by doing more; you get more of the pie by doing less. I did not know that then. I got less of the pie while I did more! I knew what others were charging and that excited me. I knew what was standard in the industry, but my insecurities led me to believe that – despite years of experience, a solid education, and actual results doing the work – I was not worthy or good enough to charge those rates. It wasn't until after I jumped fulltime into entrepreneurship and after I had gone through my savings that it hit me: I have tremendous value and I bring that value to the table and people need to pay me for it.
And lastly, as it relates to success, I have learned that success is not reserved for those who, on paper, are most destined to have it. I had this foolish belief that because I had earned bachelors and master's degrees (which, by the way, benefit me each day) and because I had worked in jobs that many deem 'important' and because I had connections to leaders, that I was just guaranteed to be successful. I was annoyed when I experienced setbacks and I was easily frustrated when things weren't working out how I had intended. I knew I would have to work hard, of course.
But I didn't expect to fail so much and to sacrifice so much and to feel guilty so much. This is the game of entrepreneurship – especially in the early stages. It is a constant process of being selfish and feeling guilty and feeling deprived and feeling like you are missing out. It is a constant test of being comfortable with the uncomfortable. It is not all four-hour work weeks, and sipping margaritas on the beach, and instant social media success, and 6-figure paychecks in two weeks. Once I learned that success isn't reserved for folks 'like me,' I put a serious plan in place and I began working it with fidelity. It's a process.
I'm going to be sharing more on embracing the process – no matter what – in November during DreamFest Digital, a virtual conference my agency is hosting for emerging and aspiring entrepreneurs.
We've got more to share from Ashley. Read Part 2 of How She Does It with Ashley Northington of DENOR Brands & Public Relations.

text: robot, and it's really a sight to behold. Developed by a consortium of European robotics labs, the motivation behind the creation is to more accurately copy human internal structure, using thermoplastic polymer for bones, screwdriver motors and shock cord for muscle, and kiteline for tendons. The results are impressive, if not a bit creepy. According to IEEE Spectrum, scientists hope in the future to use ECCEROBOT's human-like form to "explore human-like cognitive features," which may or may not include starring opposite Christian Bale in science fiction films. See for yourself in the video after the break.

From the first minutes of the opening the exhibition drew enormous interest from the visitors, which can be attributed to a large amount of actions and offers by more than 50 participating companies. The business-forum dedicated to the introduction of the "digital signature" in the Republic of Moldova was also a big success. It was organized by the Center for Special Telecommunication of the Republic of Moldova within the project BIZProMoldova and financed USAID. Eximbank IT specialists took part in the forum as well.
This year Eximbank is presenting at the exhibition a new product "Credit card with 50 day grace period". Issuing of this product within the framework of the exhibition is directed toward potential participants and guests of the exhibition. The card can be used for paying for goods and services, including payments by Internet. Adequacy of this step is confirmed by the interest to this product demonstrated by the participants and guests of the exhibition and a large number of new credit card applications signed during the first day of the exhibition.

The October 13, 1956, issue of Boxoffice Magazine ran an item about the 50th anniversary of the Bohemia Theatre. The item included the information that the Roxy was next door to the Bohemia, and had been built by the Cleveland Amusement Company, operators of the Bohemia, but that it had been a short-lived operation. As far as I've been able to determine, the Roxy's operation was confined to some part of the 1930s.

Perhaps a victim of the Depression, or competition from the Bohemia. Was Cleveland large enough then to support two theaters?

I am becoming the face of fear on big screen: Bipasha Basu
"I think I have become the face of fear now after acting in quite a few horror films. I don't mind becoming a trend-setter in this space. If the role and the subject in horror space is interesting then why not do it," Bipasha Basu told the PTI.
Bipasha feels that the horror genre in India is in its nascent stage and filmmakers must come up with innovative concepts to further explore this space. She said, "I feel the horror genre is in its nascent stage here in India. I feel people out here should try out new ways of creating fear. There are many interesting things to explore in horror space."
About the reason for getting such offers, the 34-year-old said, "May be its the role and the script that attract me to do horror films. I am a greedy actor." "Also my roles in such films have been different and strong. So it's good to play such roles," Bipasha added.
