@lizelle LOTS of people are talking about this.

Tragic and shocking news out of Baltimore. 26 year old, Pava Marie LaPere a tech CEO was murdered in her apartment. No one seems to be talking about this and I can’t imagine the devastation for her family, friends and her startup team. She was an impact founder who raised $7m building @EcoMapTech. Shocking, tragic and awfully terrible situation. Sending her loved ones my deepest condolences.

@alexandrerizos Kinda bland but still check in to see if it changes.

Anyone still messing with threads?

@DanRather Agree, a lot of it is habit, the Threads place is kinda bland, but I think it will improve and be the place we are hoping for.

Why do we always come here?

@PRisUs @BetsyHindman “They’re always looking for good stories.”

Earning media coverage in one publication can lead to coverage in other publications. Momentum picks up, and boom, there you go. But - you have to start somewhere. A trade publication or local media outlet is a good place to begin. #PRtips
