Louisville Transportation Camp December 12, 2011
A couple weeks ago I told you about the TARC and Google Maps integration that was recently unveiled. Local map and data company Metro Mapper/Your Mapper wants that new integration to be just the beginning of neat map and public data stuff. So they’re throwing an event to spark discussion, collaboration and hopefully plant the [...]

sbc just left a comment with good news that TARC is moving forward with getting their data to Google for the Google Transit program. I emailed the Metro Council about this and it was fowarded on to TARC. Here’s their response – just the one we were hoping for: Dear Mr. Coan – Thank you [...]

6. June 2008
The impressively named ConstantineXVI’s Tumblr points out that Google’s new Google Transit service does not have TARC’s data in the system. So the exquisitely named one encourages us all to write to TARC asking them to send their data to Google. Yesterday (June 5), Google updated their Google Maps for Mobile application to include routes [...]

Do I want to receive PR or Marketing pitches?
Yes.
Types of Pitches
I enjoy receiving news and tips that help make Consuming Louisville even more useful to its audience. If you or one of your clients has something cool going on in Louisville I would love to hear about it.
Consuming Louisville primarily focuses on independent Louisville businesses, artists and events. This doesn't mean that I never write about chain restaurants or corporate events but I do so very infrequently. If you or your client is a national chain and you have a Louisville specific event going on (say a special for Derby) then by all means let me know about it. But if you have an event or special that is happening in every city your chain has a location in then I probably won't post about it.
Personal Responses
I receive many press releases and email notices. I cannot possibly respond to every single one of them. So while I may not personally respond I think we can have enough faith in the email system to assume that I received your message. Sending the same message to me multiple times just increases the likelihood that I'll start ignoring all messages from you instead of paying more attention.
Editorial Choices
I do not write about every press release or event notice I receive. I'm the sole writer on Consuming Louisville (except for occasional guest posts) and if I don't find think my audience would find something interesting or relevant I will not write about it. Just because you think I should write about something doesn't mean I will. If I have chosen not to write about something it is absolutely not up for debate.
I'm a Person, You're a Person
Emails that sound like press releases, press release attachments without actual email messages and other communication that could have just as easily been sent to and from a robot do not hold my attention. Since I'm a real person and you're a real person I'd encourage you to make our interaction person-to-person conversation instead of an email blast to a marketing list. I like people, I don't like email marketing blasts.
