Twitter - a new PR cherry!

Twitter is a new variety of the PR Cherry
Any reputable business does not need to ‘sell’ their product or service. I’ll say that again.  

Any reputable business does NOT need to sell their product or service.

What they need to do is educate the public on their product or service and why it will improve their life. Educating is not selling. Selling assumes that you can manipulate people to buy whatever you’re selling. Selling is a function of greed and greed is unethical.
 
The Social Media environment exposes selling and rejects it, but it loves educating. Social Media is a learning environment and the PR professional that doesn’t understand that will not understand Twitter. This opens the door for those who can reject the old ideas of PR and accept a new strategy of service/product management.
