Have you heard about the new PR Twits? Tasty tips for PR pros!
Welcome to a brand new feature in The PR Coach. We call it PR Twits. It’s based on feedback from my Twitter friends and followers. You do follow me @thePRCoach right?
Apparently, some of you you can’t get enough of my acerbic observations, value-added verse, informative PR tidbits and tasty Tweets. Thanks mom!
Anyhow, we’ll try an experiment. Every Sunday, I’ll gather together the best of the week’s PR Tweets and publish them as a post. There’s usually about 20 a day, so it should satisfy those who want to browse all that PR wonder in one place. And I’ll highlight in green the PR Twits that got my attention and, in my humble opinion, are especially worth reading.
I’m always looking for better ways to share public relations tips, tools and resources and most of all to respond to the PR community. This was me hearing a smart idea, voiced by several Twitter friends and acting on it.
What I’m asking in return, is for feedback from you on how this is working. Would it be more useful presented in a different way? Is it too much information? Should I dump the #hashtags? Do you care? Could we organize and present it in a more useful way? Let’s see where this experiment goes.
Nothing else will change. Regular Tweets will still appear daily on Twitter. The blog posts at This Just In… will continue twice a week. And I’ll do my best to carry on our conversations as usual.
So there’s no secret password or secret handshake yet. But let’s get social. Let me know what you think of PR Twits?
And if you want more resources on public relations and Twitter, you can see the most recent @thePRCoach Twitter stream on our home page or get hundreds of Twitter tips and tactics in The PR Library.
