Comments on: The Social Media News Release & Distribution http://www.pr-squared.com/index.php/2006/08/the_social_media_news_release Social Media and Public Relations Consulting � PR Squared Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:27:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: David McInnis http://www.pr-squared.com/index.php/2006/08/the_social_media_news_release/comment-page-1#comment-149 David McInnis Wed, 16 Aug 2006 00:47:50 +0000 http://pr-squared.com/pr2wp/?p=231#comment-149 Todd, I would be careful to rule us out of the mix. If you look back at our service offering I think you will see that we have been doing the social media thing before it was even being talked about in any other forum online. I would really like to work with you on refining your spec because I feel that it has a few flaws. At any rate, of course Vocus would use PRN for distribution. PRWeb has never claimed to be a platform for disclosure releases. In fact we go out of our way to tell people so. We have been about direct-to-consumer, rss and search engine visibility since we began. To characterize PRWeb as something we never purported to be is unfair. I sense that you are working closely with PRN based off comments by Armon, which is fine, but it should probably be disclosed sometime. I have read your post and disagree with you assumption that it will take PRN or BW to make the SMPR format work. I think they will be late to the game. I question the ability of the format to work in disclosure type services. It would require a segregation of their platform. I am pressed for time right now but I will try to post more on this to my blog in the near future. We are already working on the next thing to follow the whole SEO and social media formats. Folks who focus too much attention in these areas are going to miss the next important innovations. If there is one thing that we are good at doing here at PRWeb, it is moving the cheese.

Thanks for the laugh. PRWeb is even more in play now than pre-Vocus. I have seen what David McInnis has in mind and it will take a while for BW and PRN to catch up even if PRWeb adds no additional enhancements. PRWeb out of play? Thanks for the laugh.

I see PRWeb as a service useful for SEO releases that are aimed directly at the consumer or stakeholder, where PNW and BW are for finacial markets and media attention.
