Thanks for the comments about Response Source – we work hard to make it a good service. Yes – Sally is a friend of mine, I love her blog Getting Ink.
I was sure you didn’t think we were anything to do with ProfNet, but I just wanted to make sure it was clear to your readers, because culturally and operationally we’re very different to ProfNet.

Thanks for commenting Daryl; I appreciate you taking the time. I didn’t mean to imply that you were part of Profnet; I know you are not. Thanks for providing such a great service. Are you and Sally friends?

I think what Peter Shankman has achieved with HARO is fantastic and I’ve been watching the growth of his service with great admiration. If only social media was more established when we launched Response Source in 1998!

Having a range of services like this open to journalists and PR professionals is a good thing as it helps legitimise the concept. And given the huge number articles being written online as well as offline there is clearly room for a range of services each with its own style.

Response Source’s subscription-based model provides our customers with peace of mind as it ebables us to invest in our media user base, customer support and product development. I think this model has a lot going for it for professional PRs.

Just a point of clarfication, describing Response Source as the ‘UK version of ProfNet’ implies we are connected but just to be clear, Daryl Willcox Publishing is entirely independent and has nothing at all to do with ProfNet.

I think you are correct Rachel. It will be interesting to see how the media database providers cope with this new access.

I think its a great idea to link reporters with PR professionals. With people’s lives so busy today, I think the idea will be adopted and more free services will be created.
