6 Pinterest tips for B2B, the Singing Samaritans & "too young to listen to Radio 1"




6 ways for B2B to use Pinterest
I have to say I’m guilty of not using Pinterest as a B2B platform – I did set up a DIY PR page but let that fall by the wayside – but no more - having read this article, I’ll start a business Pinterest account again.  The author advises us all to use Pinterest to increase visibility, brand awareness and revenue and for sharing.  Her tips include using Rich Pins and that a Pin isn’t just for Christmas!

“I’m too young to listen to Radio One”
…..and other tweets reacting to Ray D’Arcy’s move back to RTE!  For the anoraks amongst us this was definitely a shock announcement – but a very interesting one.  Will his Today FM listeners follow him to his new afternoon slot on Radio 1, will Mooney’s listeners stay with the new presenter, is he taking over from Brendan O’Connor on the Saturday night TV show?  And, of course, who will replace Ray at Today FM? We have to wait and see!

Sing-along-a & Support Dublin Samaritans
On a much more serious note, for some people, Christmas can emphasise suicidal feelings, loneliness and depression.  Dublin Samaritan volunteers are available all over the Christmas period - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - to listen to and to offer emotional support to people who are finding it difficult. 
The only fund-raising event they have each year is their carol-singing which takes place this Saturday 13th and the following Saturday 20th December between 12 noon and 4pm on Grafton Street.  The volunteers will be helped by the dulcet tones of Mary Coughlan, Paddy Cole, Conor Hamilton and the Garda Male Choir with other names to be announced.  All monies raised fund the provision of the listening service and the Dublin Samaritans has no paid executive.  Disclosure – I do some work with Dublin Samaritans and they’re a fantastic group of people - so if you’re in Grafton Street this Saturday or next, please support them – and sing along!  www.dublinsamaritans.ie
