Thanks for blogging about our announcement. Regarding your hope for more slicing and dicing of content by RSS feeds, it’s been done. Visit http://www.prweb.com/rss.php to see nearly 300 industry/topic focused feeds.

Journalists are an important audience for us and they all have different topics and locations that they write about so providing them with the ability to subscribe to feeds specific to their area of interests is far better for them. Their email inboxes are full of irrelevant press releases. Their RSS readers are not. Far more signal and less noise in the RSS readers. We’re doing what we can to help with that.

Thanks again.

Just goes to show that talk is good.
