I don’t know if you use Twitter or not. But if you don’t, you may want to reconsider. I definitely have a love-hate relationship with it. It brings out all the worst anxiety-ridden behaviors in me. But on the other hand, I have learned a tremendous amount, seen amazing things I would not have seen, ‘talked’ to people that I would have never met – all things that I believe will help me be better in my work.

That said, yesterday someone posted a link to a directory of analysts on Twitter. What a find!

Okay, so this is really cool.

Help a Reporter Out!

It’s a list – where journalists look for sources. They send requests in and they are distributed to the list. If you can address the need, you can respond. That simple.

So if you’re a PR person, this could be great. And if you’re a journalist, you may have just found a huge time-saver.

There’s a UK service that is similar, Getting Ink, and it has some bells and whistles like widgets for requests and such. It’s been around a little longer.

Don’t you love all this collaborative stuff?
