Blogs are often used to provide commentary on the news. Bloggers provide a unique perspective on news stories and often can generate a strong comment based interaction for specific news topics. As media, press, and news release outlets recognize this powerful force in online viral news distribution we will continue to see more tools for bloggers that foster this publicity.

Prweb.com launched a BlogThis service last year to enable bloggers to quickly blog the news.

“Part of PRWeb’s growing social media toolset, ‘BlogThis’ leverages the growing influence of Web 2.0 technologies to provide additional online visibility for PRWeb press releases…”

PRWeb.com also offers a complete set of rss feeds for specific news stories allowing bloggers to monitor a specific news channel and respond when appropriate.

Bloggers can even subscribe to a specific rsspad.com (also by PRWeb) feed to track specific news for a channel or organization, like the PRWeb.com feed.
