The truth is out there, within reach. The question is how we reach it. The new media has got some really interesting tools to come within grasp of the truth. Armed with ammunition like podcasts, blogs, virtual universes, social networks, cell phones, video games and more, the new media has launched an intense campaign to conquer our lives.But the average consumer is not complaining at this intrusion.

Dan Gillmor in Nokia’s Killer New-Media Gadget says: I’ve been playing with Nokia’s latest mobile device — the N95 — and consider it a breakthrough in digital media. Oh, it’s a phone, naturally.

In a newsletter from the Adfero Group that found its way into my inbox today there is an article titled A New Look at an Old Format. The article talks about new ideas like the social media press release format first discussed at the inaugural Social Media Club meeting in August, 2006. Shift Communication proposed a template for ths new kind of release.
The Adfero Group is one of the forward looking agencies that is experimenting with ways to tweak and reformat news for their own group and their clients. And the author’s point is well taken - it’s not really a press release anymore. It’s so much more than just news you’re sending to the press.
