A Brief Blog Profile: BevReview.com
by Thomas Hynes
Since 2001, the beverage blog BevReview.com has been publishing posts on soft drinks, bottled teas, energy elixirs, flavored waters, fruit drinks and other non-alcoholic refreshments. In their own words, they "think about what you drink." This blog works in two ways. On the one hand, it's a good read for the regular consumer who wants to know about things like new sweeteners or flavors in their favorite drinks. And, on the other hand, it also works for industry insiders who want a clearer perspective on how the market is changing and evolving.
On BevReview.com, you can read about Pepsi's new plans to incorporate mango flavoring into their cola. Frankly, I'm intrigued. This post here talks about Snapple's plans to introduce not only a cherry pomegranate tea, but also a peach passion fruit flavor. And if you want to take a trip down memory lane, why not read this review of Jones Soda's Monster Mojito Soda. I'm shocked that one didn't last. And if that doesn't sound weird to you, maybe this egg nog soda does. Traveling even further down memory lane, you can admire these "United We Stand" cans from 1976.
And that's the great thing about this blog. Soda is at once a classic institution of American diets as well as a vessel for innovation and change. What may seem odd today, may be commonplace tomorrow. In fact, as long as it tastes good to drink, there really isn't that much to think about.

ProfNet Connect
ProfNet Connect is a free, interactive online community where PR professionals, experts, and media professionals can network and engage with one another. Via profiles, forums and blogs, subject-matter experts can position themselves as the go-to source for content creators and journalists. In turn, content creators can search the site by keyword to find the experts they need. The site also features enhanced profile capabilities, allowing users to easily add multimedia components -- photos, videos, white papers and more -- to their profiles.
News Widget
Our widget allows you to display PR Newswire content on your site with very little back-end programming required. You not only get the headline, but also the body of text of the news release, keeping the user on your site at all times. In order to do so, the difference between our Widget and other widgets is at the end of the sign-up process, you will be provided with two pieces of source code -- one for the page where the Widget itself will be displayed and one for the pages that will display the body of text of each news release. In addition, the sign-up process allows you to have 100 percent control over every aspect of the Widget's appearance, so that the Widget can blend in fully with the look and feel of your site. Still not convinced? Here's what one blogger had to say about the widget.
