PR Cycle Adds Email Alerts

We just added an enhancement to PR Cycle (http://www.prcycle.com). Now users can subscribe to email alerts for press releases issued by companies in their portfolio, by category.

We also plan to add in email alerts by subcategory, and by industry. For your 30 day free trial of PR Cycle simply go to http://www.prcycle.com and on the upper right click on "New User? Sign Up".
