The design is nice. Is this addressing a real need? I am very close to the "media outlet environment" and I'm not sure if we have a need for such a resource? What are the tool-based things you are talking about? Maybe I just need more convincing?


Thanks, tyohn. I suppose it depends who ask if we're filling a real need. PR agencies pay hundreds of dollars a year to have access to media databases. Companies pay anywhere from 5-350 dollars to put out news releases to the big newswires. To us, it seemed like both of these needs could be served much cheaper with a tool-based social network.


Now that you've "opened up parts of the site" and I played around - I think it makes a lot more sense to me. If you can gain some critical mass it just might work. Good luck!
