web 2.0

Help A Reporter Out (HARO) is a service created by Peter Shankman (follow his Twitter account) as a resource for public relations professionals and reporters to find each other when they have common needs.

Has a friend ever sent you a link that you swore you were going to look at - only you never did? If you're anything like me, it happens more then you'd like to admit. There's so much great content on the web and only so much time to spend absorbing it all. Currently, I use Delicious to solve this problem. I add it to my bookmarks and apply a "read later" tag. It fits most of my needs, but sometimes my "read later" items get lost with my other links. Wouldn't it be nice if there were a service that addressed just my need to save my "read later" links?

Content syndication, social bookmarking, and now the elimination of global poverty?
