A Brief Blog Profile: The Inspiration Room
by Thomas Hynes
The Inspiration Room is an online collaborative effort focused on delivering the best and brightest ideas the creative world has to offer. The site also doesn't discriminate against where the work comes from. It doesn't matter if the work is from an agency, a production house or a PR company. If it deserves promotion, you'll more than likely see it on the blog. In their own words, they 'work with the values of inspiration, creativity, respect and integrity.'
The Inspiration Room also takes a closer look at some of the new and recent work of the industry. For instance, this "walk of shame" ad is pretty fantastic. And the same could be said for this "MANta Claus" ad. Yet, it's not all traditional advertising, as you'll see with this post on Amnesty International's recent campaign. The point is: if it's good, they'll showcase it.
Probably my favorite part of the site can be found at the top of the page. It's a section called "Recent Creativity From Around the World." And as you may have guessed, the stuff comes from all over. There's even a, dare I say, neat searching functionality. Want to see the best print ads to come out of the Czech Republic? Or maybe, you're more into TV spots from New Zealand. Not a problem. Step inside The Inspiration Room. They've got you covered.

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
Need expert sources? Check out ProfNet, a service that helps journalists, bloggers, authors, and other content creators connect with experts -- at no charge. Sending a query is easy: Just fill out a form detailing the kind of expertise you need, how you want to be contacted, and your deadline. ProfNet will do the rest. You also can sign up for a weekly "tip sheet" of experts and story ideas. Visit ProfNet for more info or go directly to the query form.
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.
