This enhancement to PRWeb's services builds on the company’s existing social media press release distribution platform. In addition to facilitating the development of a tag space unique to the public relations community, PRWeb is making it easier for users to generate tags for Technorati. Users will find this extended feature on the Advanced Options tab within their news management console. SHIFT Communications’ social media press release template has recently generated an interest in developing press release content for this emerging space. “If you spend the time to create a press release following the template outlined by SHIFT Communications, all you have is an electronic document unless you have a distribution platform that supports its features. PRWeb is that platform,” said David McInnis, CEO and Founder of PRWeb. A list of the enhancements released today includes: • A new Technorati tagging widget has been incorporated into the press release submission form, thereby streamlining the process of creating Technorati tags. While it has been possible for users to create such tags for some time, this feature makes it easier for the average user to take advantage of this important tag space. • The user interface includes a Tag Suggestion utility that analyzes press release content to facilitate the automatic generation of effective tags that match press release content and keyword density. • A separate PRWeb tag space has been released. It merges tag data from user-supplied Technorati tags with auto-generated tags identified by PRWeb’s keyword density and identification technology. • The newly created PRWeb tag space provides visual clues to both density and popularity. Tag fonts are sized according to the number of press releases associated with a particular tag. Tags are then colored based on click popularity. Red tags are most active, and then followed by green and blue tags, respectively. “We continue to expand the PRWeb platform to ensure that we provide the most viable technology to meet the changing Internet landscape," said Al Castle, PRWeb’s Chief Information Officer.

By allowing inbound TrackBack "pings," PRWeb is the first press release newswire to enable and encourage press release interaction and commentary from the blogosphere. This latest feature enables bloggers to directly link press release content commentary to the press releases on the PRWeb site. "Based on internal growth numbers and the increasing number of newswire services to offer similar services, PRWeb's Direct-to-Consumer distribution model is something that continues to gain industry traction," commented PRWeb's Founder and CEO David McInnis. "Customer interaction is part of our corporate DNA. It is built into everything we do. For years, we have watched as press releases distributed through PRWeb have been the catalyst for online conversation. Adding TrackBacks to our press releases completes the communications loop." Since 1997, PRWeb has been changing the way businesses, marketing departments and public relations firms think about press releases. Once a tool used exclusively for communicating with the media, PRWeb was the first company to develop a distribution strategy around Direct-to-Consumer communication. Additionally, PRWeb was the first company to build and offer a search engine optimized platform as a strategy for press release distribution. "David McInnis and the team at PRWeb have innovated again," said David Meerman Scott , PR 2.0 evangelist and author of " The New Rules of PR ." "Bloggers have been commenting on press releases for years. But PRWeb's new ability for a blogger to send a TrackBack to the original press release benefits not only the blogger, but also the organization that issued the press release. This simple--but revolutionary--concept will make press releases more valuable for organizations as a way to start online conversations with constituents." PRWeb's decision to allow TrackBacks is a strategic move for its customers. "We could have chosen to allow users to comment on the press release page but felt that it is more valuable to both our users and the blogging community to encourage dialogue outside the press release in the dialogue-rich blogosphere," added PRWeb's Executive Vice President Mick Jolly .
