Ten PR People to Follow on Twitter

I notice you don't say "BEST" ten PR people to follow and I commend you for that. I did my PR internship in NYC in 1982 and worked in PR for ten more years. I went back to college in my 40's (at one of the best) and learned IT. I am good, but not good for everyone. Nor is any other PR person or group. Articles like these are, no offense meant, a dime a dozen. These might be ten PR people that are good for you, but may not be good for me, or Joe Shmoe, or @Obama or you name it. There are other articles on "Top ten mistakes Twitterers make". I also laugh at those. Twittering, like blogging is full of gray areas. What works for
Ford Moters does not work for Whole Foods. Why in the world do people write these type articles when they,truly, if you are honest, are written only for the writer. Sincerely, Rick London

Great list, even if it is a bit old. Good for anyone starting out on Twitter and in need of some interesting people to follow.

Great article. Please note that my boss, cartoonist Rick London, relatively new to Twitter has his own theory. Celebs on Twitter are neither good nor bad. Rick is a semi-celebrity himself, in that his offbeat cartoons, Londons Times. have been the #1 ranked Google offbeat cartoon since 2005. He reciprocates with all, and encourages his "celeb friends" to do the same, and they do. His philosophy is that "everybody is a star" so he really does not pay much attention to who is or who is not a celeb. He cartoon stores, and gets just as many purchases from Peoria as Hollywood. He's there to make friends and (Hopefully) make people laugh, and it seems to be working.

Wow! I already followed some and have added the others - what a fantastic list. Thank you so much for putting together - it's great to know who the experts are in the field!

Well I was not much aware or not really the follower of either of them. But think i should now check every one out in detail..:)..
Thanks...

Hey Sarah,

For the work that you and everyone on the list do to promote both good PR practices and social media as a whole, I can't think of any reason why you or the other 9 wouldn't make it. :)

Look forward to seeing what you guys come up with in 2009.

Good list!

I was following six of those people already, but am now following the others as well.

Hi Danny,
Thanks for this great list. I was already following a couple of these folks but I look forward to following the others

@ Lizz. Thank you for the kind words, Lizz, I'm touched. :) And as I mention in the post, you're most definitely there on merit.

@ Jason. I agree, PR finally seems to be getting its respectable groove on and the people here are most definitely at the forefront. And I guess I better work on my accent - it's meant to be Scottish... ;-)

@ Beth. The feeling is most definitely mutual, Beth. I think one of the main reasons for the ten that are included here is that each one has provided me and Twitter with invaluable information and anyone following any of the 10 would gain some valuable insights.

@ Nicole. Glad the list was of use, Nicole, and hopefully the ones you weren't following offer you great advice on your PR and social media journey. :)

@ Deejay. You're welcome - I think you'll find the others just as informative and approachable as Sarah.

Danny-
Thanks for sharing! i'd already been following one or two of these folks, but am happily adding the others since I'm trying to learn as much about social PR as I can! Thanks again.

-Nicole.

Hi Danny,

I heard about your list from one of my followers. Thank you for taking the time to write this blog post. I would have appreciated such a list when I first got on Twitter. I especially thank you for including ME on your list. You're a Rock Star in my book... I'd follow you anywhere.

Be well, my fellow PR Twitter friend.

Danny,

I humbled and honored to see this list recirculating. I love what I do and am so, so excited about the lightning fast growth of social media. Remember when we used to sign on to Twitter and always run into one another? Now, there are so many people on it, we rarely see each other.

Thrilled, though, to see how much your blog has grown. Love following you, and still appreciate your fresh perspective and insight.

Stay well; thanks again.

I can't believe I didn't say thank you on your blog yet. I'm humbled to be on this list (and frankly, surprised). The world of social media allows another way to connect with people I may not have otherwise ever met. I'm learning as I go along, making lots of mistakes all the while having fun.

Best,
Sarah (a.k.a. PRsarahevans)

Good list!

I was following six of those people already, but am now following the others as well.

You're welcome, Dave, and I think I can safely say in no way are you outclassed by being here - I (and many others) learn so much from your great blog posts and insights.

Thanks for the suggestions - not sure how I missed Jason and I'll certainly look out for @doctorjones.

Hi Danny,

Wow... I'm totally outclassed on this list. Thank you!

Might I also suggest @jasonfalls and @doctorjones as two more worthy follows? I could list dozens; those two are the first that come to mind.

hi danny - just wanted to say thanks so much for your visit and lovely comment!

@ Dennis. That was definitely one of the key factors in putting the list together, Dennis - as well as being excellent PR people, everyone also epitomizes everything social media is about. I'm sure you'll find your new friends to be as helpful as your existing.

@ Lucretia. Thank you for your vote of "confidence" - now I feel under pressure to deliver! ;-)

I agree that Brian would (should) be on any PR list, and I'll definitely look out for @stephagresta, thanks for the tip.

Since I a) totally respect your opinion, and b) am still trying to figure out how PR people think (mostly? differently than I do!) I'm now following the half of your list I wasn't already!
But you'd be on any list I came up with!

For me also tho? I've learned much from @briansolis and @stephagresta :)

Hi Josh,

You're welcome - hopefully you find some great people there. And Beth's recommendations in her comment are definitely worth a look as well. :)

Hi Danny, thank you so much for including me in your list! Very nice of you to do so and what great company to be listed with, I am honored. I have really enjoyed our conversations about PR and social media and looking forward to more. 2009 should prove to be interesting to say the least. This post is great because it's introduced me to some folks that I didn't know, thank you! :) Our worlds are getting smaller and smaller it seems. I'd like to offer up @JasonFalls, @KatFrench, @DebinDenver, @KellyeCrane, and of course, you, as some of my favorite PR people.

Danny- Thanks for this great list! Not only am I happy to be included, I'm also inspired by the people on your list. Good things are happening in PR and social media, and these people will lead the way!

(BTW- You are my favorite Canadian with an Irish accent in all of social media!)
