What am embarrassing day. About six weeks ago I was interviewed for a video news release being put out by Coke. You may have heard the story by now: they're doing a contest that involves a GPS-enabled Coke can. (No, I am not making this up.) Anyway, I was interviewed for this educate-people-about-GPS VNR, then told last week that the segment would be on today's Today Show. Idiot that I am, I passed this news along to friends, family members, colleagues, and other people I know. And naturally Today did a live interview with someone else and didn't use one iota of my segment. So much for my GPS book getting promoted on national TV. I was also told the segment would air on CNN, but now realize "would" means "might." No idea if it actually did air; was too depressed to watch the news all day.
