HelpAReporter (HARO) Wins Mashable's Open Web Award

HelpAReporter.com, or HARO, won a Mashable Open Web Award in the “social news” category today, beating out finalists Hubdub and regator.

Mashable’s blogger’s choice award in the same category–chosen by Mashable’s 100+ blog parters–went to the granddaddy of social news, Digg.com.

HARO, the journalist-to-PR source matching service started not long ago as a Facebook group. Poynter.org took a look at HARO today and linked back to early coverage of the Peter Shankman’s service–including PRNewser’s, when membership was just 668–to find the key reasons for its meteoric growth: it’s free, fast, and open.
