My mind is flooded with social media – Twitter, blogs, Facebook, Myspace, Ping.fm, RSS feeds, every Google application under the sun (including the new Google Wave), wikis, and everything else you can think of – I can’t get them out of my head!
How do they effect public relations? Focus on relationships, conversations, listening, instant responses, compacted thought, transparency, choosing the right tool, knowing when to use it, not getting caught up in the buzz, remembering traditional media is still important.
Is traditional PR dead? No.
Is it being altered? Yes
Am I getting square eyes from my computer screen? Most likely
