If I remember right, I believe David McInnis was in many ways the catalyst for Newsforce. He and the PRWeb crew were providing the guidance and insider info the guys behind NF needed to get started. Sort of a 3rd-party credibility gig. The NF concept is good... in my experience in internet-time compression, being a follower in an industry and technology that is a fast moving target can be quite a chore. But I'm open. Thanks for the feedback, Lee. Best, ME Ahhh… good ‘ol Newsforce…

I heard through the grapevine that Vocus looked at 27 total online PR platforms before acquiring PRWeb. I'm certain they could have acquired others (or even done a mass-acquisition of half a dozen) for the price PRWeb fetched. But killer underlying technology, industry momentum and brand all came together in the Vocus-PRWeb deal. And we're seeing the same thing in the Vocus-PRWeb-Businesswire arragement. best of class services joining forces rather than staking out turf. This is truly Web2.0 stuff. I sort of see it as "Strategic Mashups". SO tell me, what's next on the strategic partnering plate? Any insights on your radar? Thanks Lee, Mark Alan Effinger www.RichContent.com Good morning, Lee,
