    Wondering if anyone has heard of/worked with this web based, architect-focused, PR group.  It seems to package project-based content and then acts as a clearinghouse for journalists looking for stories.  Seems like an interesting idea?

    That does very interesting.  Yes, I think it would be a good way to market our good quality residential architecture to the public.  How did you hear about it?

    They emailed me a solicitation directly.  They appear to have picked up submitters to our local Small Project Awards programs.
