Our school district once tried to use the us netcom (then called phonemaster) notification service and it never worked. They always seemed to be all hype, and I guess this confirms that I should avoid us netcom / phonemaster / allcall (except of course to send them an email telling them what I think about their terrible judgment with this release).

Not only does this not pay off in the long run, it's hard to imagine it doing anything but damage in the short run... This is pretty much the worst case scenario in the press release world.

People just don't know how to write Press Releases and often take advantage of the worst opportunities. It doesn't pay off in the long run. I created a <a href="http://www.evancarmichael.com/Tools/Press-Release-Builder.htm" rel="nofollow">Press Release Builder Tool</a> on my site and included this post as a resource for my readers to learn from. Keep up the great work! Evan. Great post Tom! People just don’t know how to write Press Releases and often take advantage of the worst opportunities. It doesn’t pay off in the long run.
