Today at the Online News Association conference in Boston, Perfect Market, Local SEO Guide, and Newsknife released a new survey detailing new insights into exactly how articles are ranked by Google News.
As a marketing / PR intern at Perfect Market, I will begin my quest to read one book every week or so and build upon my ever-expanding knowledge of social media.
Summer internships are winding down! What to do before you leave...
Although internships are notorious for giving interns tasks that no one else wants to do -- this is not the whole picture.
Last week, the interns working at Idealab in Pasadena, CA had a round table discussion on projects and internship expectations ... *gulp*. As you may know, Idealab is home to new technology ideas. As such, it provides a inspired setting and infrastructure to early stage start-ups. An internship discussion among ten of us covered a broad range of subjects -- everything from robotics and computer engineering to sales, social media and PR.
Perfect Market summer intern Meredith Bell proved her mettle at the Idealab Banana Split Speed Eating contest. Not only did she pound through a pie plate filled with a Neapolitan ice cream sundae, but she also proved to be a great sport, providing her fellow contestant (the final winner) with a spare hair clip so he could see. Great job, Meredith! (We hope you'll come back next summer ...?)

Perfect Market headed south to Orange County for Social Media Day this year. The Orange County Register threw a perfectly promoted social event conveniently timed with the release of the publication's new iPad app. In addition to panels, presented by local social types, the event was kitted out with numerous food trucks and an enthusiastic crowd of tech-savvy attendees who hit overflow capacity Thursday afternoon, prior to July 4th weekend. Here are a few highlights from the event curated by Perfect Market summer intern @MeredithABell.
Christmas in June ...
We've got team members snowboarding up at Mammoth, and frosty treats served up at the local frozen yogurt shop for our company summer outing. Somehow, David Blaine levitating about London has magically appeared in our photo feed as well. It looks like he may be wearing a white Snuggie. See? It really is Christmas in June.
Julie Schoenfeld, CEO of Perfect Market, just returned from AllThingsD's D9 this afternoon. Here are Julie's top ten tweets from the event, highlighting 'Gang of Four' think, DARPA's Dugan, Kara Swisher's 'twitter crush' on dreamy @jack, Groupon's mega deal of the day, and more.
This week's news cycle was dominated by the Royal Wedding, the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and the death of Osama Bin Laden. During the day, we reacted to and optimized our content for that news cycle. At home, we avidly read the news and made personal plans for the changing seasons, when families start planning summer vacations, planting gardens, and dusting off sandals and bicycles. Here are some of the week's highlights from the Perfect Market team, including a May Birthday celebration in the office to bicycle shopping in Pasadena, a cupping sssion, and a long walk on the beach at sunset.
