The PR Twits are back with another week of the best Tweets of interest to PR professionals. We’re experimenting with how we display the Tweets we feature every week. Instead of showing them by day of the week, we’re presenting them by hashtag # category for easier reference.
Tweets are curated by The PR Coach, Jeff Domansky, APR. We hope you enjoy them and do let us know in the comments below if you have any suggestions or feedback on the PR Twits.
