    what were you thinking when you bought it? :)

    might be good for:

    a list of the things people do in this world for "free publicity."
    celebs as an example, politicians etc.

    a script that has all the emails for every news broadcaster and radio host and you could charge people to have your script email them all at once, about interesting websites or things they might possibly mention on air :)

    A script like that would be nearly impossible, b/c media contacts change so often. That's why the major media databases can cost hundreds or even thousands per year to keep updated lists. And by essentially spamming them, believe me, you won't get coverage. You might get yourself in trouble though.

    A list of free publicity resources is a good idea. Honestly there aren't a lot of really quality PR / publicity sites out there... not saying there aren't any; just not a lot. A content-based site might work really well, with articles rather than just linking off to other resources.

    I think a blog or something might really be wasting the domain, b/c I think you could do a lot more with it. What about focusing on a smaller publicity niche? Book publicity and music publicity would probably go over really well, b/c they're possibly the two biggest publicity niche audiences (b/c businesses tend to think more along the lines of "marketing" and "advertising").

    Good domain. I hope you find a great way to use it. :)

    It would be great for a blog related to press release marketing, but you have to know enough things on this market to make it success.

    The reason I say I don't think a blog is a good idea, is b/c it's such a broad topic, and could likely be covered better in a well-organized topic site with a combination of text, tools, and resource links. I think limiting it only to press releases (especially b/c it's not really free to a lot of people b/c they upgrade and such) would limit some of the less-covered areas in publicity, where it might be able to rank better (press kits, online media rooms, pitch letters, media advisories, speeches, interviewing with the media, etc.). :)
