socialprHOLLY

Who are you? Ie what is your blog name and your real name. Why did you come up with the blog title?

I'm Holly Jean, and My Blog is titled A Thing (or Two) About Holly Jean because it's about my life and how I live it.

What are you? In ten (or so) words, you would describe your blog as: …

Humorous, light-hearted, yet thought-provoking urban lifestyle blog about relationships, beauty, fitness, fashion and food.

Why do we need you? Why is your blog different? What makes it stand out from the crowd? Why is it special?

I have good rapport and connection with a strong (and growing!) base of loyal readers. You can view my past advertorials/columns/articles here - http://hirehollyjean.blogspot.com/2008/11/creative-portfolio.html

Perfect story? First, what kind of stories does your blog run? Second, what kind of PR-generated or PR-related stories have a chance of getting a run in your blog?

My blog runs lifestyle based stories (travel, good restaurants, entertainment, fashion, relationships...). I'm on the look out for anything new, exciting or fun to blog about.

Contact? What’s the best way for PR to contact you, email or phone best?

Email hollyjean69@hotmail.com

What kind of stories make a great blog post?

It's not so much the content but the way you put it across to readers. Things from the heart make the most genuine posts.

If your blog was an animal, it would be a …?

A..... Flamingo! It's a pretty pink, loves an audience and you can't NOT notice it :)

Do you do lunch/dinner/junkets? Why or why not?

Yes, if it's worth my while. Meaning I won't just go for free food (lol), there has to be something I want out of it.

Complete this sentence: You wish that PR would…

Know what they want to pitch before arranging to meet me... sometimes it's a waste of time when they're unsure about what they want even.

What stories will your blog be watching closely this year?

Waiting to check out the Resorts World and all the rest once its ready.

If you were a great novel, you would be…

an abridged version! ... kidding. hmmm.... has to be DH Lawrence's Women In Love.

Singapore radio personality in "hot soup" for reporting train delays based on Tweets?

Update - Hossan Leong has commented on this post to say " I'm not in trouble pls don't blow this out of proportion. Let it rest. It's getting silly. Thank you for your love and concern and I apologize for any misunderstanding." ~  Hossan Leong. Hossan Leong, a Singapore radio personality for The Gold Breakfast Show on Gold 90.5, was censured today for reporting on train delays on the Circle Line because he based the information on Tweets, rather than waiting for the official reports from the Circle Line operator, SMRT.  It is, however, unknown if the "warning" came from Mediacorp producers or SMRT. Tweeted Hossan Leong ,  OK...I reported it on air and now I'm getting into trouble for it?? The CC line is DOWN rite? I did nothing wrong rite? The SMRT Circle Line was reported to be down this morning during peak hours and started as early as 7am. However, local news only received official statement was received by the mainstream media at about 9...

DBS Bank – One Tweet too little too late.

(Updated post - DBS apologise with the 3Rs – Will social media bite? ) It was the bluest Monday for DBS/POS Bank in its entire banking history when more than 1000 of their ATM and online banking services were taken offline due to a software upgrade an outage (PR announced that it was down due to software upgrade, but the outsourcer, IBM, later claimed it was an outage). So on that Monday, DBS decided to sign up onto Twitter and post a 140 characters one-liner onto Twitter to post a one liner to inform the Twitterverse of the down time. Everybody knows that if you just create a new account on Twitter, you would start off with 0 friends. How would you be able to inform the Twitterverse if you start with 0 friends? DBS Bank did something smart to insert the #dbs and #posb and that probably drew some attention to this account. However, the effectiveness of the tweet was lacking as it drew only 28 retweets. As of this posting, DBS Bank attracted 274 followers. A letter to T...

New field in SocialPR: Social Media Crisis Communications

I have been busy with family for the Lunar New Year week but it seem the Singapore blog-o-sphere was active, and is still is, about recently formed Association of Bloggers (Singapore), ABS for short. To cut a long story short, the announcement of ABS via mainstream media didn’t go down well with Singapore bloggers and in the end resulted in some speculation to why ABS was set-up in the first place. A post by the ABS president defending herself against a harsh criticism from a blogger added to the bad start and created even more speculation that ABS was set-up with an ulterior motive. A week later, some founding members of the pro-team started posting up notice of resignation on their blogs and this just added fuel to fire. Again, a story of ABS appeared in mainstream media and this lead to even more disgruntled bloggers asking why the president isn’t responding via her blog or the association’s blog. I also responded to a post about the ABS incident. You can catch a summary of...
