• Using An App To Summon Citizen Responders For CPR Emergencies | PIO Social Media Training
  App users who indicate that they are CPR trained are alerted to calls nearby based on geo-location that may require CPR. This type of two-way integration based on geo-location is something, in my opinion, that all agencies should be seriously looking at as a way to increase both their profile in the consciousness of their communities as well as the service they provide. Right now the app is only available for the iPhone.

  "It is imperative that celebrities use online media to manage their reputations…period. Say disaster strikes. A budding new actor who happens to be married is snapped in a photo with a cute blond. The photo is broadcast on TMZ and in the Star the next day. With social media, celebrities can speak directly to the public and say, “Hold on there, she was my wife’s interior decorator”. And then that wife can say, “Yes, it’s true”."
