That's just the first of many Tweets from BP Twitter impostor, @BPGlobalPR. With nearly 20,000 followers (and growing), you would think BP would be trying to cap, plug with trash, or otherwise reduce the mess of this feed. But sticking to their traditions, they're just going to let it go. According to this Advertising Age article , Toby Odone, a spokesman at BP, said, "I'm not aware of whether BP has made any calls to have it taken down or addressed. People are entitled to their views on what we're doing and we have to live with those. We are doing the best we can to deal with the current situation and to try to stop the oil from flowing and to then clean it up." Entitled to their views, indeed. And this Twitter feed isn't backing up. Do you think BP is making a smart move?

We've seen the big speeches – Michelle Obama, Ted Kennedy, and Hillary. But we can't help but wonder what the delegates and DNC visitors are doing before primetime. Dana Milbank from the Washington Post answers our question in his video report.

In a word – speed. Unlike other hematology analyzers, the new HemaTrue™ Veterinary Hematology Analyzer from Heska provides accurate results in just 55 seconds. But how do you deliver the message at a busy industry conference before time ticks away? Try an entertaining traffic builder that emphasizes what can be done in less than a minute. And when everyone wants to try to be the fastest – you know you've quickly hit the mark with a resonating benefit.

Do you know what sport is played by two-thirds of the world? No, we're not talking about Polo or Jai Alai. It's Cricket and it's taking over America. In case you haven't seen the billboards, TV commercials, and print ads that have flooded the Fort Collins market in recent weeks, the Stanford 20/20 Cricket Tournament, played in the West Indies each year, has selected our town to make its American broadcast debut. Throughout the next month, Stanford 20/20 Cricket is taking over the town and hosting a series of viewing parties for each match and a family day where residents can learn and play the sport of cricket. The Fort Collins cricket adventure will culminate at a Caribbean-themed street festival in downtown to celebrate the final weekend of the tournament. Check out www.yougottaseethis2020.com for more information.

In September, we helped itSMF USA add some "Sizzle" to their annual conference. Charlotte, NC, was home to the event, so what could be better than a stockcar theme including a "race" to energize the attendees. Every attendee was assigned to a racing team and participated in networking and activities – like going head-to-head on X-BOX 360 and racing against one another on a slot car set. Perhaps the most un-conventional part of the approach was the use of video and audio to introduce keynote sessions.

The week before Christmas – what a perfect time for shopping, parties, and a technical training event from HP. How do you pull people away from yuletide cheer for an important four-day event? Instead of threatening them with a visit from the in-laws, you promote the event as an adventure they can't afford to miss with an energizing theme, excellent speakers, and informative sessions. And everyone agreed, selling-out the event and giving a satisfaction ranking near 100-percent. (We thought those hot summer days would have you longing for a Christmas story in July.)

With Colorado's significant number of bioscience companies, Denver is a logical location for the annual BioWest Conference – the premier gathering of biotechnology and medical device manufacturers in the Rocky Mountain Region. And when you're marketing to those logical, scientific-minded types, you'll want to ensure the event is a well-orchestrated, extremely informative success. The easiest way to pull that off is with the help of fully-customized event management software that tracks registrations, vendor reservations, and other event information.

If you're trying to manage more than 1,100 events a year without an event management solution, imagine the headache you're going to have. Forget about taking two aspirin and worrying about it in the morning. Instead, how about using an event management solution that offers customized on-line registration, a fully-staffed call center, multiple registration options, and system support for financial transactions? It's pretty much a life-changing solution for the company that publishes life-changing ideas.

For the 2007 Veterinary Dermatology Meeting, Heska Corporation needed a way to connect with attendees and get them to the booth. But how? After all, vet dermatologists are a very science-driven and educated bunch, but also skeptical of marketing. The answer? A $6 puzzle.
