--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a freelance writer I click on your site perhaps once every ten days as I have done for the past three years. My discretionary use is in addition to a review of the newsletters you send frequently. I think it is excellent site and the best professional media site out there. Even your comments are continually upbeat which gives me a positive outlook when freelance is slow! Keep up the good work!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have affiliated with Media Kitty early in its existence and I am so happy that I did. They are on top of what's happening in the travel world that I need to know:

media and press trip information;
referrals;
destination information;
associate members' news and announcements;
the opportunity to post my own special needs, and so much more
Information is presented in a concise, accurate manner. Media Kitty is ALWAYS very responsive and on top of what they do -- what every busy travelwriter needs. Thanks, Media Kitty.

Since subscribing to Media Kitty I've given up the need to cat around looking for good travel industry info. It's all here in one tidy, trippy package, warm and fuzzy. [It] roars with all the relevant intelligence needed, and is a fun frolic to read as well. Can't keep my paws off it.

Media Kitty is the cat's meow for a dogged journalist looking for great story ideas. I average at least two leads a week from it and have made great contacts with some of the best PR names in the business.

More than a year ago, we posted a news release on Media Kitty, received a solid response and got some good national press. Because news releases are archived on your site, they continue to provide a great benefit. Last month, a freelance writer for the Boston Globe travel section contacted me about the release she had seen on your site. Last Sunday, a story about our contest ran in the Arrivals & Departures section of the Globe. The Sunday Globe has a circulation of more than 700,000. That's a fantastic media hit considering the news was more than a year old! Thanks for a great service!

My Media Kitty posting for PR help with a story on destination weddings brought me several good sources. These publicists will be duly rewarded with the residual publicity and I hope they receive praise from their clients as well. Thanks for the service.

In the world of PR there are two types: the ones who get it, and the ones who don't and never will. As a full-time freelancer I run from the latter. Media Kitty allows me to choose who I want to talk to in an efficient, timely manner. Not only that, the staff at Media Kitty completely understands the needs of a journalist and goes out of its way to help.
Bill Kerig, freelance journalist - Salt Lake City Utah

Hi again...any likelihood of approving Tripatini's membership in Media Kitty any time soon, after more than 2 months? Seems strange it should take this long...

Hi there! Just wondering why Tripatini's Media Kitty membership has still not been approved. Can you check into this? Thanks, and happy holidays!

Good evening, Heather, and welcome to Tripatini! Great to have you with us -- and we think you'll find our site productive as well as interesting and enjoyable.

To get the most out of us, you may want to take a moment to join several other of our many groups which you may find of particular interest, such as Airfares/Air Travel, Eating/Drinking the World, Resorts Corner, Luxury Travel, Adventure Travel, and plenty of others covering many topics and most destinations throughout the world.

FYI, on your profile you'll see a green bar marked "Text Box," which you can turn into a box containing not just text but also photos and even videos about yourself, your interests, your travels, and Media Kitty.

Finally, if you would, please be so kind as to spread the word among your travel-interested friends, family, colleagues, associates, and readers. It's fast and easy to use our "INVITE" function above left on the navigation bar to enter e-mails (even your whole list at once!). And if you have any opportunity to cover us in Media Kitty or would like to consider other forms of cooperation, that would of course be great!

Thanks for joining us; and we wish you an outstanding rest of 2009 and look forward to seeing you online.

Cheers!

Next week is good. I will be around most days after 3:30 (still working as a teacher). I will be getting some dental work done on the 28th, but I look forward to talking to you. Should I call you at your PR office?
