eBuzzNewsletter is all about getting the word out …
all over the world.
Published by Dallas-based Socialwhirl.com, named Web Worthy by Consumer Web Reports since 2003, the first time application was made

(Dallas -April 7, 2006)- "News is moving so fast," says Sharon Adams, principal, socialwhirl.com. "Everything is hyper-cyberspace and accessible from anywhere, anytime. It's a very exciting time to be in the midst of it all. In the past five years since I've been doing socialwhirl.com and adamspr.com, the internet has exploded. From my experience, the websites and newsletters that last are the ones which offer the fastest breaking news and the most relevant information to the right audience: those who sign up and want to know what's going on, either using that information as a resource for their publication and/or forwarding the news to friends all over the world."

Socialwhirl.com's eBuzzNewsletter does just that. Sure, most media receives the same press releases. Dallas' public relations professionals are very savvy. But there are times when a business or non profit organization has breaking news, doesn't have a publicist on board, maybe even doesn't have a web page, doesn't have the time to research which media should receive which information and feels at a total loss on how to get the word out.

That's when they can send their press releases and news to us at sadams@socialwhirl.com and we can help. Serving as a resource for media as well as news-savvy readers from all over the world, eBuzzNewsletter helps cover all of the bases.

In March 2006, socialwhirl.com had hundreds … even thousands … of visits from these countries, listed in the most hits first from: Networks (132,035), US Commercial, Unknown, US Educational, Non Profit Organizations, Canada, US Government, United States, US Military, United Kingdom, Australia, Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Italy, Sweden, Germany, Finland, Belgium, Mexico, Uganda, Poland, Singapore, Israel, Japan, Portugal, Denmark, Norway, New Zealand, Austria and more. Those are just the top 30.

"It occurred to me that sending a weekly newsletter to an audience that opted in to receive it was the way to help the independent businessman, university, non profit organization or corporation get their news to those who could channel it to media and spread the word," said Adams. "That's the mission of eBuzzNewsletter and we encourage everyone to sign in and stay informed."

Emailed to opt-in subscribers only once a week, eBuzzNewsletter will take sending press releases to a higher level and reach a much wider audience than previously thought possible.

"It's also published as a web page and accessible 24 hours a day," Adams says. "Each week we update the web page, archive last week's page and move on. Meticulous records are kept of each week's entries, so if anyone has a question about an item that has previously appeared on the web page or newsletter, we're glad to point them in the right direction, including contact information and a copy of the release."

Options for including hi res images for media to download, streaming video and more are available on a one-week publication basis or longer. That saves the time of training someone or learning yourself how to upload a hi res image or .ftp a file, deal with streaming video, etc. With eBuzzNewsletter, all you have to do is provide us with the product and we'll take it from there. If you need help creating your streaming videos, Adobe files, etc., we can help, too. All the reader has to do is click on the link to access the information. It's that simple.

"Having worked in public relations since 1985 and having been faced with the frustrations of learning what's up with the internet and how I can make it work in the best way for my clients, I'm thrilled to be able to provide this newsletter as a vehicle for people all over the world. It's a very exciting time!"

A little history about socialwhirl.com and adamspr.com

In July of 2001, acting on pure enthusiasm and with no formal training, Sharon Adams dove into cyberspace, launching adamspr.com as a venue to showcase the businesses and charitable causes supported by her Dallas-based public relations firm, Adams Communications Public Relations, founded in 1985. A self-taught entrepreneur, she spent the summer of 2001 learning how to build the website.

Beginning with the social season in September 2001, adamspr.com highlighted a few clients' special events. Feedback was positive. Excitement was building.

By the time the fall was over, Mrs. Adams realized the absolute advantages of worldwide exposure and developed a plan to expand this vision by offering non-client charitable organizations and corporations the opportunity to participate in this unique website.

In December 2001, she launched the new socialwhirl.com™ and began touting her websites in two of the cities she most enjoys visiting: Aspen and Santa Fe.

Jumping on the bandwagon almost immediately were organizations in Santa Fe, New Mexico, such as the Buckaroo Ball, Georgia O'Keeffe Museum bought pages to highlight their anniversary celebration and the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival came on board. Aspen Art Museum is a continued supporter, as well as other non- profit organizations and businesses in Dallas.

Today, socialwhirl.com has become the internet vehicle to help non-profit organizations spread the word about their special events and missions and also incorporates a dynamic lifestyles email newsletter, eBuzzNewsletter.

With your support by purchasing full page ads and features, special events and party pics pages, you show your commitment in support of our mission.

Thank you for visiting socialwhirl.com!
