Despite what you may think from the minimal activity here at Deep Bench Strategies, I spend hours a day [or more accurately, a night] reviewing the blogosphere with a particular eye for Marketing/Advertising, Public Relations, Social Media, Strategy/Planning, & the emerging technologies of the broad Digital World.

One blog that regularly appears at "the intersection of social media, search marketing and online public relations" is Online Marketing Blog. Lee Odden, who leads the blog from nearby Minneapolis, is a rockstar in this world. I've never met Lee, but find his writing to be engaging and enlightening.

Today, over lunch, I came across a post on his blog offering an invite to check out Pownce [http://www.toprankblog.com/2007/10/pownce-invites/]. Pownce is another iteration of "microblogging" similar in concept to Twitter. Where the [self-described] "bunch of geeks" at Pownce have succeeded is in the ability to attach just about anything to these mini-posts. I'm looking forward to exploring it more thoroughly in the coming days.

Thanks for the invite, Lee. I appreciate it!
