I've actually gone back to also accepting email pitches because Facebook has rudimentary email management tools. And your grandma is welcome to pitch me... :-) I’m not addicted to Facebook and I have no idea what a poke war is :-) Seriously!

That's why you want to make sure you don't let your grandmother send him a traditional news release. It was his now infamous <a href="http://www.siliconvalleywatcher.com/mt/archives/2006/02/die_press_relea.php" rel="nofollow">Die! Press release! Die! Die! Die! </a>posting that sparked the move towards the first Social Media News Release templates.

What do you think Miranda, would you pitch your idea via Facebook? I guess this begs the question of accuracy, how accurate will his assessment of the applicant be?
