Whether you’re a journalist or PR professional, you should be using Pitch Engine. It’s another one of those great 2.0 applications that makes all of our lives easier. Pitch Engine allows journalists to browse thousands of social media press releases, and gives publicists the chance to house their SMPRs online for free. The press releases are easy to link and share on Twitter, Facebook, Friendfeed, Technorati, etc. You can even upload photos, video, and audio.
I wanted to try out the service on myself before using it for clients. Check out my social media press release before it expires.

Been using PE for a while; just signed up for the social Media Newsrooms…traffic, views and feedback from the original releases were very strong.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a new PR solution…

Eric, how much traction have you gotten from the releases posted on PE? Any resulting coverage yet?
Yes, different types – ranging from blog articles, marketing case studies completed, a few interviews and several mentions within the retail automotive segment….
That’s awesome. Pitch Engine is such an easy tool to use, and apparently effective. I’m sold! I think I will upgrade to the agency newsroom.
