<p class=MsoNormal>First, I'd strongly encourage us to move discussion of this
type off the board's plate ... I don't think that as a board, we should be
operating on that micro level. (Unless somebody nominates us for the Nobel
Peace prize or something like it ;-))<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>How is that marketing list coming? ;-)<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Secondly, as a board, I do believe we should properly
discuss what objectives we have from a marketing perspective. That would
include whether or not we should have objectives of winning industry awards. If
we decided that as the foundation, we would want to accomplish that, we should
set that as an objective for the marketing group, which should decide which of
those awards to go after (resources are limited, we can't go after all) and
what the tactics are (to borrow Dick's terminology) to accomplish that. Which
may or may not include press releases, blog campaigns or whatever.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>> It's a good idea, David. The only question is cost. If

<br>
JanRain just uses prweb for their releases ... I think its $399 per<br>
release. However, I'm of the thought that a blogging campaign would<br>
be a bit better ... :-)<br>
