Comments on: Technorati/Associated Press service a great deal for bloggers, newspaper readers http://publicityhound.net/technoratiassociated-press-service-a-great-deal-for-bloggers-newspaper-readers/ Tips, Tricks & Tools for Free Publicity Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:02:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Shel Horowitz http://publicityhound.net/technoratiassociated-press-service-a-great-deal-for-bloggers-newspaper-readers/comment-page-1/#comment-2622 Shel Horowitz Wed, 07 Jun 2006 11:32:09 +0000 http://publicityhound.net/?p=616#comment-2622 This is great! It both makes a distinction between bloggers and trained reporters (a useful distinction for a number of reasons, positive and negative on both sides--they are different animals)--and makes at least some portion of the blogosphere accessible to non-blog-oriented readers. I suspect we'll see more of this sort of integration. PS: A recent comment I made on my business ethics blog http://www.principledprofit.com/good-business-blog/ (about the Enron verdict) got cited in Slate.com--and I got a nice surge of traffic. And ironically, that equaled the press coverage I got on a big press release drop announcing that I was an expert available to comment on the verdict, which was distributed the day before they were found guilty. Publicity Hounds who are not yet blogging should really ask themselves why they're resisting. This is great!
