In early 2012, the Wall Street Journal reported that Google was exploiting little-known functionality within Apple’s Safari browser which allowed the search engine to install cookies even with Safari’s privacy settings set to disallow them.  Google was quick to respond to the accusations with a company spokesman issuing the following statement to WSJ in response to their article:

Since Apple first announced plans to develop its own proprietary mapping application earlier this year, Google Maps supporters were skeptical of Apple’s ability to design a more accurate and effective global mapping solution.  Following the release of the iOS 6 mobile operating system in September, many Apple users expressed frustration with the new Maps application.  Within a matter of days, the backlash was evident in the press, as well.  Numerous technology review sites, blogs and even tech and business news outlets were discussing Apple Maps and its lackluster user experience.

The results are in and Barack Obama will remain in the White House until 2016, but after participating in the most costly campaign to date, what really gave the President the advantage in the polls?

Ken Wisnefski discusses Obama's last-minute Twitter interactions during Election Day 2012 and how social media impacted his campaign.

”There is a spike because this happens once every 4 years,” said Wisnefski. “Social Media continues to be a trending phenomenon therefore constantly requiring expert insight and commentary.

Recently, the National Football League has been at the center of a controversy surrounding its replacement referees and the ongoing labor dispute with its regular officials.  In my last article on PR News Online, I discussed the importance of utilizing public relations to address the issues at hand and keep the situation from becoming a significant problem for the NFL brand.  Additionally, I contributed a piece to The Washington Post in which I discussed the strengths of the league's fan base and how their loyalty has helped the organization remain successful.

This weekend, I read a blog post by our own Todd Bailey in which he discusses Scott Van Nuzer's recent photo opportunity with President Obama at his pizzeria in Florida.  After reading Todd's blog (and subsequently, watching the the video which accompanied the post), I decided to research the topic a bit further and surprisingly found that according to Google's suggested search… Scott Van Nuzer doesn't exist.

On Tuesday, the 2012 Republican National Convention officially began in Tampa Bay and less than 24 hours later, terms such as "Mitt Romney", "Paul Ryan", "GOP 2012", "RNC 2012" and "Chris Christie" were still amongst the most frequently searched and discussed topics on the Web.  Throughout popular social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, millions of national and even international users have voiced their opinions and thoughts on the candidates and the convention.  Despite some delays and initial concerns due to the impending presence of Hurricane Isaac, RNC attendees and online followers have been largely unhindered by inclement weather thus far.  In fact, the event is on track to become one of the most significant social trends of 2012 and is anticipated to substantially elevate Mitt Romney's social following heading into the upcoming Presidential election.

Wisnefski expected that the larger staff would lead to a company discount on healthcare premiums.  Read more

For quite some time now, Facebook has been the world's preeminent social networking site.  In fact, it's even become a part of pop culture.  Books have been written and movies have been made about the phenomenon that is Facebook and furthermore, the company released one of the most anticipated IPOs in history earlier this year.  Despite the diminishing value of Facebook's shares, the network still controls a majority of the social networking market.

"Most will tune it out, skip over them and go look at what's more pertinent to them," Wisnefski said. "Aside from targeted customers, we've never had anyone come back and say, 'Hey, Facebook has been a huge return for us.' It's more fluff than substance."  Read more
