1998 news archive 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 For the most recent news, go home. 10 November 1998 Back from Atlanta, where I attended Networld+Interop, spoke at the Atlanta Linux Showcase and ISP Forum and generally had a wonderful time. And, as promised, notes from both talks are now linked via the speaking page. 30 September 1998 Lyris Technologies and I parted ways (read the official statement), and I'm now looking for a business development, product management or similar position. So take a look at my résumé and spread the good word. 3 September 1998 A "Meet the Press" talk I chaired at the Silicon Valley Association of Software Entrepreneurs went quite well, thankyouverymuch. Read all about it, along with Infoworld Editor in Chief Sandy Reed's notes. 2 August 1998 Big changes afoot! I'm working intensively with Lyris Technologies Inc. and sold Silicon Valley P.R. to Lynn Macias. Read all about it. 15 July 1998 I've written an article for Garage.com, the incubator-in-development for high-tech startups: "Using P.R. to Attract and Keep Investors." 30 June 1998 Yet another speaking engagement! This one's for Macworld Expo: The Creative World in New York City. I'll be presenting "How to Buy Your Next Mac" at 1530 on Wednesday, 8 July. (For the detail-minded among you: That's session 23, Room 1E09 at Jacob Javits Convention Center.) Be there or BeOS. 20 May 1998 The past year has been a roller coaster of activity, and a lot of it has centered around defining a focus for Geller Consulting. And let's be honest: With such a variety of services, it's hard to make any of them stand out, and the result has been some pretty muddy marketing. So I'm spinning off the biggest part of my consulting. The new company, Silicon Valley P.R., will launch 1 June 1998. In other news, I've added a page about my speaking engagements. 1 May 1998 I presented two sessions at MacFair LA 98: Getting publicity for Mac products (1000, Friday 1 May) Buying, upgrading and running your "obsolete" Mac (1400, Friday 1 May) 19 April 1998 About two dozen game developers came to my second Media Night for the Center for Software Development on Thursday, 16 April. The following editors showed them how to get good press for their products: Johnny Wilson (Editor in Chief, Computer Gaming World) Wes Nihei (Editor in Chief, GamePro) Chris Charla (Editor in Chief, Next Generation) Vince Broady (Editorial Director, GameSpot Network) 16 April 1998 I'm pleased to announce the first European member of my Associates page: Mike Fellows of QuayMedia. His 20-plus years of experience in marketing makes him an excellent choice for vendors looking to move into markets outside the U.S. 15 April 1998 Comments surrounding this site's old cover page raised a lot of issues for me. Many of them are at the heart of public relations philosophies, most notably: Is P.R. a creative art? I've published some of these thoughts, and welcome your comments. (This page also contains the graphic in question.) 5 February 1998 In a new article, What makes a good P.R. Web site?, I look at effective Web design for P.R. professionals, using real examples by Apple, Microsoft and other firms. 20 January 1998 As promised, the site has been completely reorganized.
