PR Week Question: Are there any new tools out there that can help me connect with other PR pros?

Answer: ” Jeffrey Davis of Sawmill Marketing Public Relations in Baltimore, Maryland (aka @contactjeff) touts the Twitter micro-blogging service.

“Twitter can be used to monitor trends in social media by following and participating in exchanges with some of the leading thinkers in social media and PR,” he says.
