Mainstreaming SE is when the term fades out, and you get funny looks if your business lacks a social mission. #BigSocial2016

Just joined @UnLtd as ops manager for @GlobalSEN . Excited! I might start tweeting about work stuff too.

Arrive at work. Guard surfing the net. Specifically, searching 'Россия Украина граница карта' #liveinrussia

Know your audience. For hipsters use 'meatballs' (in English), for old ladies 'фрикадельки' (in Russian)

Much better to call a journalist and ask if they're interested in your story, than to just send a press release.

journalists are different. Some prefer phone. Some, eg Вылегжанин, like Facebook. But that doesn't make Saturday night a good time. @newmnru

If a journalist says "it's potentially interesting", and they're not politely saying no, ask what it still lacks. stronger story? @newmnru

Respect the journalists' own interests. When you know them, they reply much more quickly. @newmnru

Never write to info@.. address. Best is to develop personal contacts with journalists. But don't overload them with your 'news'. @newmnru
