Author Launches New Network
Rohnert Park, Calif--Created specifically for the average person by Lauren Elliott, PNN (www.pnn.com) gives web users a familiar and easy to use desktop publishing tool that blurs the distinction between the mainstream media and the citizen journalist.
"All of us have stories and opinions," said Lauren Elliott, CEO of PNN. "Sharing these ideas with each other is what matters; the tools shouldn't be a barrier."
"A couple of years ago I helped my mother, Eleanor Roosevelt II, put together her stories about growing up with her aunt and famous namesake - Eleanor Roosevelt. The stories she told about putting a pony into FDR's elevator in the White House, or ER staying up to 3:00 am every evening to answer her mail, are wonderful, personal accounts that you don't soon forget. I realized then that it's these kinds of stories, told by all of us, that needed to be shared. In a way, PNN is a result of that feeling", said Lauren.
Until now it has been a frustrating experience for the average user to access the powerful publishing abilities of the new Web 2.0 technologies.
"We want to change the fact that only about 10% of the 150 million online Americans have ever posted to a blog," Lauren said. "We want to take the old-fashioned blogging experience and make it more intuitive, fun and accessible to everyone.
"It's the same as the desktop publishing revolution--we're just doing it for the web."
PNN.com combines an easy drag-and-drop interface and stunning graphics with the ability to post articles, pictures, audio and video from your desktop, cell phone, or pda.
"It's a changing world," Lauren said. Media consumers and creators are becoming one and the same. People can tell their own stories. We just provide the tools and get out of the way."
