A Brief Blog Profile: Stanford Social Innovation Review
by Thomas Hynes
Ultimately, The Stanford Social Innovation Review is about one thing: solutions. Published out of Standford University, the readership extends across academia, nonprofits, government and business. The writers are usually from one of these worlds. And often times the content is about how those sectors cross collaborate to achieve greater success and efficacy. But, at the end of the day, this blog and publication is about reporting on the solutions to global problems.
Honestly, this is a great blog. There are a lot of smart people saying a lot of smart things on here. For example, here is a post on the rise of viral fundraising campaigns. There is a post on the development of a civil society in China. This post outlines a simple method to improve college graduation rates. And this post discusses the role of the responsible entrepreneur..
There's also this post about how social media can't drive a new economy. Believe me, I wish it could! But this isn't Farmville. This is real life (or "IRL"), and real solutions are needed to fix the many problems that assail the world. Luckily, The Stanford Social Innovation Review is full of them. I honestly feel that just leaving this blog open on your browser will make you a smarter person. But, then again, reading it might not hurt either.

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
ProfNet helps customers gain exposure for their organization by promoting spokespeople and experts on a network that connects tens of thousands of news organizations with expert sources. ProfNet members get the inside scoop on reporter queries and media leads, and build relationships with the journalists who cover their industry. ProfNet customers can respond directly to reporters looking for expert sources, pitch experts and story ideas directly to the media, and create searchable expert profiles so media can contact them directly
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 reporters. In turn, reporters 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. And because profiles are indexed by all major search engines, users can increase their visibility and media interaction even further.
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 2 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% control over every aspect of the Widget's appearance, so that the Widget can blend in fully with the look and feel of your website.... Here it is in action on my bike blog. Still not convinced? Here's what one blogger had to say about the widget.
