This Weekend in the Hound House:<\/p>\n
I’m making a list and checking it twice and loving the really fun cat- and dog-themed gifts<\/a> on this Pinterest board.<\/p>\n ====================================== Facebook is rolling out a new feature that’s giving a limited number of users the ability to pay $1 to send a message into someone’s inbox, even if the recipient is not a friend.<\/p>\n This obnoxious feature is just one more way for Facebook to get your credit card number. The result? Even more spam added to garbage that’s already flowing into our in-boxes from clods who claim to be our Friends but are hawking everything imaginable.<\/p>\n If you want to throw your money away by pestering total strangers, that’s your business. But smart Publicity Hounds wouldn’t even THINK of using this $1 trap to pitch journalists and bloggers.<\/p>\n I wouldn’t use it, either, as any type of marketing tool. It’s as sleazy as the intrusive telemarketing calls from creeps telling you how to consolidate your credit card debt.<\/p>\n You can read all about the new Facebook feature in this PCWorld article.<\/a><\/p>\n ==================================== Looking for a last-minute gift for clients or business associates?<\/p>\n Or one more piece of content for your membership site?<\/p>\n Or an image to pin to one of your Pinterest boards on publicity or PR?<\/p>\n Consider my free ebook, “The Best of The Publicity Hound’s Tips of the Week of 2012,”<\/a> chock full of 27 of the best DIY publicity and social media tips.<\/p>\n If you haven’t grabbed your copy yet, click this link<\/a> and save it to your hard drive.<\/p>\n I’ve given you nine other ideas on how to use the ebook.
