Digg the New PR
- What: A Digg-like website for PR and Comm news — top stories, debates, interviews, blog postings, podcasts, research, etc.
- Where: newpr.crispynews.com
- Why: To identify and promote the most interesting PR-related articles
- Who: You :)
- How:
- go to the site (you’ll find a couple of articles I posted, just to get this started)
- register for a username with your e-mail address
- submit news items (make them count): strong>use this bookmarklet: Share on New PR (thank you, Kami)
- vote on the news stories already posted, and comment on them
- subscribe to the feeds (for all the articles, recent articles, and recent votes)
- Questions, comments? Read this first, and leave a comment here. If there’s something you don’t like, say it; we can change everything - title, description, categories, etc..
Is it going to work? (what about irrelevant content, lack of votes, etc.). I don’t know. It’s up to you :)
Hat tip: Anthony Mayfield, who wrote about starting a “Digg-a-like [site] for marketing and PR stuff in the UK“. I recommended him CrispyNews, than I thought about following my own advice.
Updates:
- you can vote on a story as a guest, but your vote will count 3 points; if you vote as an user (after registering), it will count 10 points :)
- if you click on the article’s title you’re redirected to the original article; if you’re clicking on “Full view” you can see who voted for the article. For example, here are the votes for Stephen Davies’s 12 steps to a successful PR campaign
- you can see also the most recent articles (feed)
- here are the users who submited or voted on articles; also, each user can track his/her record (votes, articles submitted, comments)
- finally, you can associate an image with an article - here’s one submitted by John Wagner
