A Brief Blog Profile: PR-Squared
by Thomas Hynes
I knew PR-Squared would be a great blog when I saw it was written by Todd Defren. By that I mean, I knew of his name before I knew of his blog. I've been following him on Twitter for about as long as I've had an account is what I'm trying to say. But, after looking briefly at his blog, I knew I was a fan. In short, the tag line did it for me. It reads: "The next big thing is already here."
That is to say, it's not wise to sit around and wait for something "huge" to come down the pike. There's already a ton of change afoot all around us. Like the banner image says, it's already here. For instance, one thing that is certainly here is Facebook. This post wonders what will happen if it's here... forever. In this post, he discusses fine-tuning social media content strategies. And in this post, he describes the super futuristic position of blogger relations. Aw, Todd! That's what I do! You shouldn't have...
The truth is PR-Squared would read well in any time time. Or said differently, I read Todd's work in the past. I read it today. And I'll no doubt read it in the future. You should, too.

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.
