]]> Comment on New Google = New Coke by Kate http://www.helenbrowngroup.com/2012/01/new-google-new-coke/#comment-382 Kate Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:30:21 +0000 http://www.helenbrowngroup.com/?p=1140#comment-382 I found this post to be very useful. Although I was aware that Google was changing and including more and more things that were not useful to my work searching, I was not aware of the specific ways in which I could prevent it happening. The verbatim search tip is great! I will be using it in the future. The TED talk you linked to was really worrying. It made me wonder just how much I am already not seeing when I search.

A journalist GETS prospect research by Helen Brown http://www.helenbrowngroup.com/2011/12/finally-a-journalist-gets-prospect-research/#comment-352 Helen Brown Wed, 21 Dec 2011 14:14:09 +0000 http://www.helenbrowngroup.com/?p=1130#comment-352 You're absolutely right, Jen. We need to reach out to folks in the media (and even in fundraising!) to let them know what we do and how we do it, and be supportive and encourage those who are trying to understand.

It's important to point out when some balance is restored and you summed it up so well - and humorously. Thanks for the sanity.
