An American history website I recommend: Common-Place.org -

common-place.orgQuote: “With the exception of a few daguerrotypes (invented in 1839) Common-place won’t dazzle you with snazzy graphics.

How PRs pitch: A direct quote

I just received an email from a PR person that contained the following:

I’d like to gauge your interest in a case study about a material handling distributor and consultancy that recently achieved significant expense reduction and revenue growth by uniting disparate cross-team customer data through the use of customer relationship management software.
