We’ve reach the end of yet another work week, so that means it could be time for you to join the masses at the crowded malls for some holiday shopping action. Before you do that, let’s stop for a moment and read up on some great business-related posts from the blogosphere.

Lesley Chang starts us off by discussing what she learned from Kirk LaPointe at Kwantlen University. He’s the managing editor of the Vancouver Sun and he has proclaimed that the press release is dead. Kirk also says that PR professionals are “always on.”

Scott Young is just as firm a believer as anyone else that you should pursue your interests, finding a job that is in line with your interests and hobbies. But, what if you have more than one passion? Do you really have to specialize or can you try your hand at being a generalist?

MoneyNing knows that many of us are in search of sun and sand during these gloomier winter months, but that doesn’t mean that we need to break the bank. Yes, it is possible to save money on cruises by shopping ahead and avoiding their pre-booked excursions.

Sam Chan has decided to jump into the latest social networking fad. He decided that he will Poken with the best of them, sharing his contact information with other Poken users. He’s also very happy with their customer service.

Rebecca Bollwitt, who most of us know better as Miss604, is currently embarking on some international travel. Somehow, she finds herself over in Switzerland to see how the Swiss are going to represent themselves at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. See, everything she does ties back to the 604. :)
