What’s happend to the Social Media Press Release?

At Liberate Media we have been following the progression of the social media press release for quite some time. Over the last few months there seems to have been a bit a down turn in coverage on the subject.

Marketwire and Webit among others are still doing their thing, Shift has recently updated its original template and you hear a bit from digital snippets smpr reincarnation now and again, but where’s the smpr buzz gone?

It seems like all the guys that were talking about the smpr have moved onto other subjects like Twitter, Friendfeed, reputation management and social media optimisation (SMO).

The smpr is definitely on a go slow at the moment and I’m not really sure why that is, perhaps there’s too much information on it, and it’s no longer a copy and paste job for journalists!

I’m still a big fan of the smpr and will be championing the cause!

    I’ve been working on designing my own SMPR for the launch of my digital PR agency for a while now.

    Agree with you things have got a bit quiet, thought Digital Snippets/Ford would have boosted things but the momentum seems to have gone.

    I’ll be joining you in championing the cause!
