So, today we got the word that PRWeb rejected our very reasonable PR piece arguing that that the end of the world was prevented by our Mac BlackBerry software, PocketMac for BlackBerry.

I think our piece was very reasonable and clearly tongue-in-cheek but I’ll let you decide. Please like this post if you disagree strongly with PRWeb’s editorial decision. A similarly-styled press release was approved by an alternate newswire.

Press Release Follows:

End Of World Averted By Mac BlackBerry Sync Software…
San Diego, CA–May 23, 2011–Blackberry owners everywhere rejoiced today that the world didn’t end on Saturday. And with the world still very much alive, one small business owner thinks he knows the reason why — he’s attributing it to his Mac BlackBerry sync software, PocketMac for BlackBerry.

“Just as our software saves our customers’ BlackBerry world from apocalypse every day – by letting them sync their data to their Mac and back again — I’m convinced that the end of the world was staved of simply because PocketMac for BlackBerry exists,” Tim Goggin, co-owner of PocketMac said.

Goggin’s reasoning is that since so many Mac-based customers are able to use PocketMac for BlackBerry to fight destruction of their crucial data its ability as a force for good can’t be overstated. In other words, PocketMac for BlackBerry is saving the world one BlackBerry at a time, saving them from competitors’ inconsistent sync software, the potential of a “bricked” BlackBerry and simple data loss.

Goggin continued, “If you are on a Mac and you love your BlackBerry, you’re an iconoclast. You think differently and a lot of the time you’re not rewarded for that. You have some pretty scary options: use software that can take days on the phone with tech support to fix or use PocketMac for BlackBerry. Good always wins over evil.”

PocketMac has been saving the world and saving Mac BlackBerry users’ worlds since 2004 when co-owner and Tim’s brother, Terence Goggin cracked the code that allowed BlackBerry users to sync to their Mac for the first time.

“Some might say this is an obvious publicity stunt from a small business owner trying to piggyback on a news story,” Goggin added. “Nothing could be further from the truth. I sincerely believe that we might have been watching our last TV show, buying our last coffee or making our last BlackBerry phone call had this software not been around to punch it away.”

Adding to Goggin’s claim is the fact that PocketMac for BlackBerry now offers flawless Outlook 2011 syncing. This means that while Mac BlackBerry customers using other software have to put up with inept syncing of their data, PocketMac for BlackBerry customers can sync all their data without an issue.

Goggin concluded, “If you’re a Mac user who loves his BlackBerry, the end of days is losing your data. You don’t have to worry about that with PocketMac for BlackBerry. We’ve had 7 years to perfect this and prevent disasters from ruining your day or your business–that’s why we can offer a full, iron-clad 90-day money back guarantee.”

PocketMac for BlackBerry retails for $29.97. More information can be found at:
