Book with Orbitz and forget about refunds. That's their policy - they charge you in advance, then keep your money. Earlier this week I booked a two-night...

I have been looking at Vocus, and yes, by far have the most to offer, at the highest price. What I'm wondering is if anyone had heard if they have a sharing...
While I've never booked rooms via Orbitz, I've had pretty good success booking flights -- and changing them -- and cars. So has my wife for her work. Like a...
I'd tend to agree, EXCEPT ... My complaint with them is not just that they have this hidden weasel clause (they do have that), but the way their personnel...
I would assume not. They do very little wheeling-dealing unless it's December 29th and they want to post some numbers before the end of the year. What they are...
I appreciate your candor. I know I'm spending so many hours doing my own media list for each client and for each clients events that it is tiresome. I...
I had nothing but good experiences with them, Christopher, just like you - right up until the moment I had a problem. Then I had a very bad experience, and...
Well, this is not good news. I did listen to the Vocus investors teleconference, and right now they are not discussing changing PRWeb concerning it's stand...

Vocus is letting a group of us in the Boston share a subscription, as Bacon’s did for a couple of years. I’m hoping they let us continue another year –...
Edna: How many people are sharing the subscription? There are quite a few solo PR firms in Detroit and we might be interested in a similar arrangement. I can...
Greetings Moderator, Hope you're having a lovely week. I hate to sound like an old, "busier than thou" bitty and must request and/or reiterate group etiquette....
Perhaps if he put together (with your help) a synopsis of the book you could promote it to the publishing houses with the sample of his "runner up" piece....
Good advice, Kezia. Thanks, of course, for the plug. You're right: "NONE of these media databases are even close to being up to the minute." Each of the...

Hi Janine, There are six of us, with a couple of “seats.” A couple of us are heavy users; the rest are light users, a good mix. It’s rare that we all...
