Great title, great tips. “The Burned-Out Blogger’s Guide to PR” is for bloggers and PR people. The book is available on Amazon in paperback and kindle format.  

Mircea Popescu is a pathologic liar, a thief and a fake. He’s tried to bribe Romanian bloggers into writing complimentary articles about him, he made some false statements, claiming he bribed politicians and all kind of PR stunts and, after two years, he claimed he was the number one blogger. We laughed. And he fell […]

Flipping through this presentation about the mobile world, I saw again the enormous Samsung Mobile budget. They are living proof is not enough to have the greatest smartphone, you got to have a big marketing budget. The average Joe sees the Galaxy S4 in Ray Donovan’s hands and that is what he buys.

I like to do things manually on my blogs and use as little plugins i can. If i can use a plugin for two things it’s great. A good example is Auto feature Image plugin i am using for display on the front page of my blog, rss thumbnail and Facebook thumbnail (details here). Here […]

I consider Dragoş Novac a guy I can learn a lot from, even though he is stubborn and antisocial, two qualities i hold dear. To my disappointment with the Romanian online industry, he told me life has a lot of grey and wisdom comes with age. Maybe i am too young, but i consider respect […]
