Usually I block PRs because, as Bill says, they are not truly engaging with the conversation; particularly agency PRs, because they must by nature of their position serve many masters. I do follow a number of internal PRs, however, because their position allows them to engage much more openly and honestly with the conversation. I think you will find many journalists feel uneasy about dealing with PRs on Twitter because often there is an obvious agenda in the relationship :) Cheers, Renai (all views expressed here are mine alone) hi Prem,
