Or thinking of inviting a celebrity to your event? Or compiling a list of celebrities? Till now, it’s mostly done on the basis of how many names you and your colleagues can come up with.

Rest assure. Web 2.0 is on the rescue with Tinfinger. This is a search engine for famous people. You can check out its directory as well to view over 650 categories of famous people. Tinfinger also lists down the recent news that any particular famous personality has been getting in the media. You can submit profiles of famous people to its directory as well.

This is one good resource for PR professionals. The Indian celebrities category lists at the moment around 35 people, which means nothing. But considering that this service has just started, it’s worth a wait and watch. Maybe when the number comes to around 500, then it will be a gem.

Now what about Indian resources? Are there any sites?

Celebrities in India is one find where you can find lists of Bollywood actors. Not very useful but at least you can see a profile picture of each actor complete with personal biography, filmography, likes and hobbies, etc.

I couldn’t find any lists of socialites. Maybe creating one can be a good PR idea for the likes of Delhi Times and HT City. Or maybe India PR Blog should start a directory.

This customised search box is on your right hand side of this blog called India PR Search, below the Flickr picture ———————->

Or one can visit the site separately as well.

I have added 15 websites that I could think of so far including PRSI, PRCAI, Exchange4media PR hub, Agency Faqs PR resource page, and PRdomain, among others. This blog and some others have been added as well. What I have not yet added are the individual websites of PR agencies, maybe because I became lazy or that my head started to spin looking at all these htmls :-)

However even if I couldn’t do it myself, the good news is that anybody can volunteer to contribute any sites they think is important to this search engine. If you go the homepage of the India PR Search site, you will find a link for volunteers at the left hand side bottom of the page.

Please feel free to add any websites. The only request I have is that it should be related to the Indian PR industry, not global, as otherwise there would be thousands of sites one can add.

Or should we restrict ourselves only to PR related websites. What about media sites, government publicity & information departments, etc? We need some feedback on this too.
