Sourceables Connects Expert Sources with Media Professionals
Sourceables, LLC today announced the launch of a new online community of sources, experts, and media professionals.
Sourceables.com is a free social networking platform that allows its members to share their viewpoints, expertise, and insights through short text posts and links. Journalists can search for and connect with the expert sources they need for the stories, features, blogs, or programming they produce.
Rob Nissen, founder of Sourceables.com, explains, “Sourceables can help position credible sources by demonstrating what they know and why they know it about today’s news, topics, and trends.”
Featuring an advanced search function and follow capabilities, Sourceables has positioned itself to be an extremely useful tool for media seeking experts, professionals, or anyone who can offer insights or commentary.
Who Can Use Sourceables and How Does it Work?
Sourceables is for anyone who can offer their insights specifically on what’s happening in the news or with today’s leading topics and trends. Members create a profile, add links to their personal site(s), and begin posting their comments. Links can also be provided within a post to a news story or external site to help connect comments to current topics. Sourceables members can also feed their posts directly to their Twitter account through the Tweet function.
For media professionals, Sourceables can help journalists, reporters, producers, bloggers, and others quickly find and contact the sources they need. Along with being available 24/7 and being constantly updated, Sourceables features a live search function which can quickly and easily locate sources via any word, topic, or keywords entered immediately after posts are updated or filed. Sources can also be located via the category browse function.
Additional benefits for media members include the ability to post queries directly to the Sourceables community and the ability to remain completely anonymous while using the site (profile pages are not required for media members) so members can search for sources without having to weed out unsuitable candidates or deal with unwanted contact.
Connect and Communicate
Sourceables gives its members the opportunity to do more than just comment on news and topics. They can also share what they are working on or what interesting projects or research they are developing or involved with. In addition to offering insights on the news, Sourceables is a great resource for connecting and communicating with others. Members can follow those whose interests match theirs to share ideas or make new contacts.
In celebration of their launch, all members who create a valid account by 11:59 pm EDT August 7, 2009 will be eligible to win a new Amazon Kindle DX e-reader, courtesy of Sourceables. The winner will be selected on or about August 10, 2009 and will be notified by email. Only one winner will be chosen and only one entry per member is permitted.
