Editorial Reviews

Review

I thoroughly enjoyed this text ... Connecting Online should be incorporated into Public Relations curriculum as we approach the 21st century. -- Dr. Lori McKinnon, Department of Advertising and Public Relations, University of Alabama

In Connecting Online, Emily Avila and Greg Sherwin have put everything together in one place, creating a public relations tool that covers all the bases. Tackling each of the available technologies one by one, they cover just what the technology is, then explain how it can be used to enhance an organization's image. -- Shel Holtz, ABC; Principal, Holtz Communication + Technology

The authoritative technical voice from a Webmaster in the trenches combined with sensible marketing strategies of a PR maven is a combination I've not seen in any "market yourself online" volumes. Most PR masters who don't know their Web technology well enough, and most top-flight Web people don't know much else. -- Matt Lake, Corporate PC columnist, Computer Currents

The authors' combined expertise in technology and public relations have led to a complete reference for anyone who is interested in promoting a positive image on the Internet. -- David Siegel, Author,Creating Killer Web Sites

From the Publisher

Connecting Online cuts through the hype and shows you why it is essential to first establish a solid image and communicative environment with your key audiences on the Internet. Through the authors' own personal direct experiences with the Internet, public relations, and the media, you will be able to skip the starry-eyed mistakes that many people make - and build a lasting and effective Internet strategy and presence. Examines all of the Internet tools (not just the World Wide Web) that can help you build and monitor a positive image.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific introduction and "how to" guide!, March 3, 2000
This review is from: Connecting Online: Creating a Successful Image on the Internet (PSI Successful Business Library) (Paperback)
Connecting Online: Creating A Successful Image On The Internet explains why it is essential to establish a solid image and a communicative environment with specific Internet audiences. Authors Gregory Sherwin and Emily Avila have collaborated to created a guidebook that will help the most novice of computer users to get up and running with image building strategies, even when they have had no prior experience with, or training in, public relations. Connecting Online covers the history, demographics, features and benefits of the Internet; how to effectively use email, the Web, Usenet, FTP, and other Internet tools; Internet etiquette, press releases, crisis communications, security, and public relations essentials; how Web pages work including strategies to research, build, maintain, and keep them current; costs, hardware, software, the hiring of consultants; the technical support required to establish and maintain a website or an Internet presence; and much, much more. Connecting Online is "must" reading for those new to Internet communications and public relations and a handy reference for anyone needing a refresher in the art and craft of building a successful and profitable Internet presence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top-notch Web site adds value to Connecting Online, June 30, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Connecting Online: Creating a Successful Image on the Internet (PSI Successful Business Library) (Paperback)
The authors of Connecting Online have chosen to supplement the book with a companion Web site of the same name, which includes a wealth of information for PR people who want to use the Internet to its full advantage. This site contains updated links, organized by chapter, to all of the Web sites mentioned in the book. Connecting Online is the best resource I have seen for online PR professionals.
