In my opinion, Twitter is the easiest way for people new to social media to get involved. Here's my list, in no particular order, of the top 10 PR educators to follow on Twitter, inspired by Darren Rowse. I'm sure I'm forgetting some good ones, so feel free to add them to the comments. What I enjoy about following all of these people is that you get to know them and their personal interests, because they tweet about themselves as well as PR education issues, helpful links, etc. You can follow me on Twitter, too.
A number of other educators have recently joined up, so you could also check out Dr. Emily Kinsky, Bill Sledzick, Dr. Meg Lamme, Rosanna Fiske, and Urkovia Andrews, and if you read Spanish there's Fernanda Grimaldi.
Oh, thanks: I don't think I've ever been on a Top Anything list! Now I see where all my new follows are from this morning.
We should organize a PR Educators' Tweetup. ICA?

Thanks for this list, Karen, and thank you for including me. I just signed up for everyone on the list and look forward to the conversations.

OMG, Thanks so much for including me, Karen. But you absolutely should be on the list too!! I learn so much from your tweets and this blog site. I like the Tweetup idea at ICA especially when it will be in Chicago, right in my backyard. :-)

Thanks for including me! And I just followed a few people you mentioned that I hadn't discovered yet, so thank you.

Hey, thanks! I got a few new follows too that looked like UGA students. I love following and, being followed by, students.

Dr. Russell - is your RSS feed messed up?
