Thanks for the new link -- this one worked fine. Another person on our team had the same problem, so that's why we thought something was wrong. The risk of letting your virtual newsroom slip is this: if a journalist visited their site to get background on the company, they'd leave feeling that nothing of importance has happened for over a year. In any event, this new release is a great example of blending the best elements of traditional and social media. Thanks for the blog entry. That must be the case, Todd!

Here it is: <a href="http://blogit.webitpr.com/?releaseid=6166" rel="nofollow">http://blogit.webitpr.com/?releaseid=6166</a> I can't speak to Converseon's newsroom, of course, but I do know those guys to be pretty smart folks overall. Maybe they are too busy with clients to do a great job on their own newsroom? Cobbler's children don't wear shoes? Hmm, Elrond, the link works for me. Here it is:

We then visited the Converseon website, where the most recent press release is dated April 2006 (the actual dateline says '05) and carries a traditional format, except for a few keyword links. Did we miss something? Why pioneer media-rich releases and be sloppy in your online media room? We did find the blog interesting, however.
