I don't know exactly WHEN sites like NowPublic will "hit." But I'm sure they are offering a glimpse of our future "citizen news" and publicity. This site may still be a bit rough-- but it is certainly useful now being a great media resource for individuals and internet businesses. Here is a photo of a great message. It's free to share by posting to your blog or site right now if you wish. As you look at examples in this article I want you to realize that this image is not hosted on my site-- it is hosted on NowPublic.



And how about this nifty video...a glimpse into the audible public reaction of London getting good news-- the moment they were told they chosen by the Olympics.



One NowPublic's coolest features is that you are able to get their code for sharing either of these media onto your own pages FROM MY PAGE! Just roll your mouse over either image and click on the get code link.

I wonder what news story you yourself are sitting on? A new trend in fashions? A wonderful new product? A viral video perhaps?

This NowPublic site certainly has me thinking about how I can get Joe and myself in this new international news sharing business. OR maybe you love taking photos and are always on the look out for opportunites to sell them. Either way, this site is worth a looksy and a bookmark.

To me, this seems like a natural extention of a news release. You already have a news story and now you can easily add images and videos that enhance your story's news release. Many of you will want to use this citizen's news service right away. When you do, please let me know, and I'll do the same.
