NEW Public Relations WIKI

A wiki is is a web application that allows users to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows others (often completely unrestricted) to edit the content. A wiki entitled the TheNEWPR/WIKI is found to have been created for the following purposes:

• a repository of relevant information about how the PR practice is changing
• a collaboration tool for PR professionals and people interested in the practice of public relations
• an open space where anyone can ask questions, post ideas, or start a project.

Although this wiki is not about blogs per se, wiki's are a combination of both blogs and forums, and this one is definitely of interest to anyone who has an interest in public relations. I encourage you to check it out.

In other news the last post that I placed here was about Pingoat.com and despite pinging Technorati about the post it was never added to their search. Therefore even though it is mentioned in detail in the prior post I am mentioning it once again.
