2010-08-21 17:52:51 (GMT) TiffNews10 WiredPRNews.com Dallas, Texas – A new program in Dallas gives prostitutes a chance at rehabilitation in place of a criminal sentence or in conjunction with one.

Google and Facebook: Is the Social Media Town Big Enough for the Both of Them? 2010-08-21 17:53:59 (GMT) WiredPRNews.com Kevin Quinlan The Law Firm Marketing Dude On Wednesday, July 28, 2010, Facebook unveiled their new project, a new question-and-answer service, which would be readily available to Facebook’s 500 million users directly on their site. The new service, dubbed “Facebook Questions” will allow Facebook users to access collective knowledge accumulated through the Facebook community for recommendations on restaurants, music, cooking tips, and any other questions someone may have. The answers to the queries will be visible to the entire Facebook community, which will be arranged according to topics or themes. But, this new service could impede on Google’s lucrative search engine empire, as people may turn to Facebook for answers instead of “Googling” a topic. But not to worry, Google has their own tricks up their sleeves. Google’s top secret social networking project, Google Me, is claiming to be different from Facebook. “Anything Google might do in social networking wouldn’t be like Facebook, because the world doesn’t need a copy of the same thing, said Eric Schmidt chairman and CEO of Google. Instead, Google Me will incorporate and go beyond Google Buzz, a social networking and messaging tool that is integrated into Google’s web-based email program, Gmail. The upcoming Google social networking site is also tapping into the latest Internet hot button, social games. Google announced they are in discussions with Playdom and Zyna (makers of the Mobsters and Farmville social media games); even moving as far as purchasing Jambol, an online global cash register for the Google social site. In addition, Google acquired Slide, a popular social widget maker who created the popular Facebook app, SuperPoke. Google’s advancement into social games is their newest effort to try to cash in on the forecasted $220 million that will be funneled by advertisers into Facebook’s social games. So what does this mean for the social networking game? Could Google Me topple the social media empire known as Facebook? Only time will tell, but now is the chance for advertisers and marketers to jump on the latest social trends. Advertisers are already expected to invest hundreds of millions of their advertising dollars into social games; and they need to get creative. The old tried and true banner ads, pay-per-clicks and pop-ups won’t suffice on the social sites. Advertisers need to inject their brands into the queries of “Facebook Questions” and get people talking about their product or service. Word of mouth and viral marketing will likely return higher results within Facebook forums while advertisers may need to focus on social games on Google Buzz, as that seems to be Google’s main focus. At CEPAC Inc., we are experienced in developing successful social media and advertising campaigns to fit your company’s needs. Contact Kevin Quinlan for more information on how to implement successful social media marketing and advertising campaigns. Kelsey Grammer expecting child with girlfriend

Smithfield, NC, August 07, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Each year the Ava Gardner Museum celebrates Ava's life and career by hosting the Ava Gardner Festival. This annual event includes heritage tours, screenings of classic Ava Gardner films, and special exhibits. This year’s festival will kickoff during the Ava Gardner Festival Gala on Friday evening, October 8th, at which the Museum will unveil its newest exhibit in the Museum’s largest showcase, Ava on the Small Screen. Although she had regularly remarked that she didn’t consider herself an actress, Ava Gardner continued her film career until a stroke in 1986 made it impossible. Earlier in her career, Ava had been assigned the roles of lover, paramour, and femme fatale, but as she began to take on less glamorous and more challenging roles, critics and fans alike began to realize her true talent for acting. Ava’s last film projects were two made for television movies (The Long Hot Summer and Harem), one mini-series (A.D.), and multiple appearances in the television series Knot’s Landing, all of which were received with positive reviews of her performance. A pilot was also taped titled Maggie, but never aired. Costumes and memorabilia from all of these projects will be on display, along with interpretive panels detailing Ava’s career on television. This exhibit will run through the end of May 2011. Tickets to the Gala are $50 per person and all-day admission to the Museum on Saturday, October 9th is $5.00 for everyone. “We are excited to put on display costumes that have rarely been exhibited, as well as pleased to take off exhibit some costumes that, while visitor favorites, need to be stored for the sake of the longevity of the textiles,” stated Executive Director Jessica Meadows Hammett. For accommodations, two local hotels are offering special Ava Gardner Festival discounts. The Best Western Smithfield Inn (919-989-4047) is offering a special rate of $64.00 + tax and the Sleep Inn & Suites of Smithfield (919-209-2360) is offering a 15% discount on rates. Call the hotel directly and mention the Ava Gardner Festival to take advantage of these special discounts. For more information about the festival, including Festival Package rates, please call the museum at 919-934-5830. The Ava Gardner Museum is located in downtown Smithfield, at 325 E. Market Street and more information may be found on the museum website, www.avagardner.org or by calling 919-934-5830. The museum is open Monday-Saturday, 9am-5pm with admission of $6.00 adults, $5.00 seniors and groups, and $4.00 children. Mobile phone spread leads to more social media use in Kenya
