There was a big group participating in this week’s PRobecast! In this episode, Alison Raymond, Paula Slotkin, Amy Krigman, Wendie Larkin, Renatta Sierwert, Mike Sapienza and Joanna DiTrapano talk social media, cell phone usage on planes, Scott Brown and the influence of Mommy bloggers. Here are some topics we covered:

Twitter’s launch of @earlybird – The group buying trend is becoming increasingly popular. Many smaller merchants are finding that it is a great way to market their business – but what should they be thinking about before joining in?

The influence of Mommy Bloggers – The media landscape has changed tremendously throughout the last couple years. Blogging isn’t just a pastime anymore. Bloggers can be highly influencial, especially mommy bloggers.

Are we in an Analytics Era – PR and marketing professionals are being asked more frequently for results of campaigns as more and more sources and platforms are used.

Usage of Cell Phones on Airlines – It might not be long before calls are allowed on domestic U.S. flights. Do you want to hear someone talking next to you while you’re flying? Will this be beneficial for those travelling for work?

Brown backing financial overhaul – Thoughts on Brown’s decision to back the financial overhaul.

Success of the Old Spice Man Viral Marketing – Old Spice has done an excellent and hilarious job responding to people’s tweets via YouTube. Is this something that more companies should be doing?
