PR Open Mic

I first joined PR Open Mic back in February, after following them on Twitter. I became interested in this social media site after noticing that they were posting notes and outlines from PR Real World break out sessions. I attended PR Real World in February and really enjoyed hearing the speakers there. When I noticed that people were posting their notes from different breakout sessions, I was so excited! There were many sessions that I was unable to attend, but with the help of PR Open Mic, I was able to get all the valuable information. 

Browsing around PR Open Mic, it reminds me a lot of Facebook. You can connect with other PR people and chat with others on the site. I really like that they offer links to various blogs in the PR community. I enjoy reading blogs and seeing what other people are learning in public relations. I am still fairly new to PR Open Mic...I'll admit I kind of forgot about it since finding the PR Real World links, but I can definitely see how this can be a very valuable tool in PR. 

I also like how different colleges and universities have the opportunity to run PR Open Mic. This week Oklahoma State University's Social Media class has the opportunity to provided the content for the site for the entire week. They post different questions and information for the members to take part in. I really like how PR Open Mic is helping students grow and giving them opportunities for some real world experience in PR. Hey Ging, maybe we could get PR Admin to do this?! Ha!
