A Brief Blog Profile: The Future Buzz
by Thomas Hynes
By virtue of its very name, The Future Buzz positions itself as ahead of the curve. Here on this blog today is what will be talked about tomorrow. At the very least, this is what people in the PR and marketing industries have, are, and will be talking about throughout their workdays. The blog was started by Adam Singer, and its goal is to help readers "become successful in spreading buzz online for whatever you’re doing on or off the web."
On the blog, you can read about how blogging gets no love these days on one post. On another post, you can read about how it's a great time to start a blog. At first blush, this may seem contradictory. But, really, The Future Buzz is just painting a fuller picture. And speaking of a fuller picture, on this post you can read about how social media is really a lot more than just Facebook and Twitter. To illustrate this point, there's this post on the recent talk around Oreo's post on Facebook supporting gay pride. Yes, it was on Facebook. But, there was more to it. There was strategy. And there was intention.
This blog describes itself as being "extremely passionate about... anything new that connects us and allows for better communication in our world." It doesn't matter if it's social media, technology or even cookies. It's about sharing stories and ideas, in the past, the present, as well as in the future.

Customized Newsfeeds
Don't let the name PR Newswire for Journalists dissuade you. This is a great service for bloggers. Any content creator -- whether you're a journalist, freelancer or blogger -- can set up a customized profile to receive releases based on preferences. You also have access to hi-res photos, media-only content such as media advisories and embargoed releases, and experts via ProfNet.

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.
