I have just posted an external blog with lists of Editors, Columnists, Journalists, Reporters & Media, Writers On Twitter. All though there does not seem to be a communication best practice yet, I am sure these lists could be morphed into one. And, what is missing is an entire list of government public affairs persons as well. Just think of the collaborative opportunity here! I got over 200 hits in under 24 hours from this blog. So there seems to be some real interest and I thought I would share here as well.
I would encourage anyone to comment and add to the list or start a diaglog about this either on GovLoop or over at the blog @ http://bit.ly/7V64NQ
I look forward to finding and developing a best practice top dog for better PR relationships with those on Twitter. Seems like a gold mine and I am giddy with excitement.
Which of the 7 that I mention are your favorite?
Happy New Year All!

I’m a big fan of Twitter lists. I think it solves a lot of the problems that the wikis and other storing mechanisms have. Whenever I see them, I want to follow a bunch of people quickly and Twitter lists solve that.
I belong to a few lists as well. The one thing I do not see, is a government public affairs list co-collaborating with journalists online. This is an opportunity just waiting to be ‘hatched” ( can you tell I am looking forward to Spring and warmer weather, LOL)
True…I have a few lists I created but haven’t seen a good gov pub affairs list with co-collaboartion w/ journos.
You can find reporters covering gov and politics at http://govtwit.com as well and there are a few other journos on Twitter listings as well including Muckrack.com, http://www.my-creativeteam.com/blog/?p=694 and http://mediaontwitter.com/
Thanks Steve, I covered most of these in the blog. The only one I did not know about is GovTwit.com
I will take a look at that one. Sure appreciate it. Have a good work week everyone
