Imagine having just one place to send the media, customers potential book reviewers, or anyone who wants to know everything about you, your company, or its place Booka where they can:

That place is a Social Media Newsroom (SMNR). Similar to a traditional online writing, lists of media coverage, news, events, contact information media, and so forth, but also includes social media and Web 2.0 elements that allow visitors to share and interact with content.

In this respect it should be SMNR traditional, seizing the opportunities of indexing tremendous social bookmarking and RSS feed services like Technorati, del.icio.us, Digg, and provide Feedburner. Imagine that all entries made in his writing (all of its media coverage, press releases, biographies, photos, vidcasts, podcasts, events, etc.) was not only indexed in Google and all other search engines, but also in the popular bookmarking and RSS servicesaccessible by millions of bloggers and Internet users. This is true power of SMNR for entrepreneurs, small businesses, authors and pressesexposure small.

This fantastic display, is a byproduct of the reason SMNR original was created, but has grown beyond a mere electronic repository. Became the plan for the new media which includes multimedia Mediation and wants one-stop shop for every bit of material they will need for your coverage. This new media wants something that is fully transferable and print ready, easily shared with his colleagues, with links and searches that will take them directly to more relevant information. More importantly, however, want a place that welcomes your comments and invites interactivity.

If you already have a website with most of these features, you may ask why you need an editor. First, a writing inform the members of the media and potential customers that you are making a big effort to make your job easier. The social media newsroom is similar to a press release in which the standardization is essential to allow easy navigation and content extraction media.

Secondly, as mentioned earlier, the media composition (if built using a platform such as WordPress) means that each entry in his writing, from a press release to a single image can be automatically indexed in search engines, indexes, RSS feed, and bookmarking services social, since each entry is itself a separate page of sorts. This means that someone can find your website running on your logo image of the company through a research blog about their knowledge of business, looking to relevant sites marked on Technorati or del.icio.us, or looking for RSS feeds. Think of it this way: You can have a lottery ticket in a pot or hundredyou figure the odds.

But writing a social media should not replace your existing site. You still want a place to blog and have a more traditional place to present other information. You will also make all your sales "on their website. Your SMNR is not a sales tool! Your essay is intended to be a neutral place to display all their materialsjust media as a press release mega.

Many small businesses or entrepreneurs may not have the media coverage enough to warrant a full draft, but that does not mean you can not take advantage of social media optimization. These companies and individuals should consider building their sites using a blogging platform WordPress to power as their sites. This provides all the benefits of social bookmarking, RSS feeds, etc. and is a very easy way to build and maintain a feature-rich site. Naturally, the ideal scenario would be to have both!
