Google’s come up with a great idea.  They’ve apparently reached out to several leading political journalists and bloggers to include their shared Google reader feeds on political stories for “Power Readers in Politics”, a service that people can catch what some of their favorite political prognosticators are following.

The service includes the Readers from the McCain and the Obama campaigns.  But what I like about it best is that they don’t go after the same standard DC media crowd (that’s if they even know what Google Reader is).  Instead, they’ve turned to guys like Patrick Ruffini, one of the founders of The Next Right.

Last week, Mark was contacted by a reporter from IDG who wanted to know about how Abraham Harrison LLC uses Google Apps Premier, and Mark Harrison, our CEO, obliged. The article was published online today, For Web Apps, Get a Service Guarantee, in PC World (via Marketing Conversation and Chris Abraham).

We're proud to be a featured Google Apps Premier case study. Google Apps gives us a structured, integrated way to stay connected and collaborate. - Chris Abraham, President and COO, Abraham Harrison (Read the Abraham & Harrison case study to learn more)

Mark Harrison popped me these BBC TV shows months ago and I only had time to watch them last night and they're very interesting and wonderful insight into the last century of public relations. This series, The Century of the Self, asserts that Sigmund Freud, Anne Freud, and -- most importantly -- Edward Bernays, were the godparents of modern PR, marketing, advertising, and also political strategy.
