Weekly Linky Love: It’s May!

A lot of love for the social media posts this week. Some agency thinking and a little on current events. Enjoy.

Some Differences Between Pitching Mainstream Press and Bloggers (Chris Brogan): Chris asked the Twitter-sphere what they thought and got some interesting results. The comments are also terrific. Bloggers are different and you have to understand the culture before you pitch them anything.

Have You Lost that Loving Feeling (Unspun from SHIFT): An inside look at agency life. For those of you who have, or are, interning at an agency, how does this compare to your experience?

Get Into Twitter or Get Outta PR (PR Squared): Todd Defren says that Twitter is necessary for PRos. I agree (and said so in the comments). What do you think?

How To Get Placement on Blogs (Social Media Explorer): A new blog for me. I really liked this post and I think Jason does a great job of summing up blogger relations and even giving an example.

Dinner With a Millennial (Les is More): Just an amazingly inspirational posts for those of us who work with millennials and those of you who are.

Some posts on current events –
Hannah Montana’s PR Crisis is Vanity’s Fair’s Treasure Trove (Daily Dog). Sarah Wurrey at Media Bullseye had a good article on the same topic.

The Danger of the Soundbite (MarketingProfs): Commentary about the Reverend Wright and his potential damage to Obama’s campaign.

Now I have a headache, so I’ll leave you with those!
