Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 23, 2007 -- A web site described as the MySpace for the PR and internal communications industry has attracted nearly 4,000 members in less than two weeks while garnering rave reviews among industry trade publications and bloggers.

The new social networking site is the brainchild of Lawrence Ragan Communications Inc., and communicators can register for free by going to MyRagan.com.

"We're all familiar with Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace," says CEO Mark Ragan. "Well, this is the Facebook for public relations people, media relations pros and internal communicators.

"There is nothing quite like it out there today."

The site has been the talk of the industry since launching two weeks ago. The most recent accolades came from popular industry blogger Amanda Chapel, aka The Strumpette, in her May 22 post.

"It's the new hot spot in PR," writes Chapel. "If you're in, you're in. Apparently, it's the place to see and be seen."

It takes about 90 seconds to sign up for MyRagan.com, which includes forums, instant messaging and chat rooms, bulletin boards, favorites lists and video/audio chat. Communicators can even start their own groups.

"If you're a public relations pro or internal communicator in Sydney, Australia and you need help with a problem or want to benchmark something, you can put together a network of other communicators from around the world with a few keystrokes," Ragan said.

The new MyRagan.com site also offers news roundups, free downloadable toolkits and reports and an information exchange for members to use to swap tips, resources and strategies.

The Chicago-based firm also publishes 30 different newsletter titles in the fields of management, PR, media relations, Web content and Intranet management.
