Social Media Newsroom

Posted by Keelan on March 7th, 2007

Todd Defren of Shift Communications recently posted on his PR Squared blog a template for a Social Media Newsroom.

One of Todd’s/Shift’s clients Neatreceipts has launched a Social Media Newsroom.  Check it out here. (by the way, Neatreceipts’ Scanalizer looks like a cool product)

In his post, Todd has a couple of questions company’s should ask before launching a blog, podcast or Social Media Newsroom where anyone can post comments about their products and/or services:

  • Are you confident enough in your product that you’re willing to endure the potential for public criticism? 
  • Are you sure that you have enough time, and adequate support resources, to respond to such criticisms in a consistently prompt and professional and public manner?

I think both Shift’s template and Neatreceipts application of it are really good and hope the format will begin to be implemented by other organizations – maybe by one of my clients at Thornley Fallis.

Ryan Anderson of The New PR also posted his comments on it.
