If you work in PR and you’re on Twitter, there’s a good chance that the people you follow are a mixture of colleagues, acquaintances and recommendations. How do you go about finding the really influential players in the industry, and which are the accounts with the most interesting tweets?  Here’s our short guide to who’s who.

PR People: This Peer Index list compiled by Andrew Bruce Smith is a good place to start.  Based on the PR Week Social Media Power Players list, originally published in February 2011, it is a comprehensive guide to those PR folk with a strong social media presence. Another list from Andrew is those listed in the PR Week Power Book.

Agencies:  Jon Priestly has listed the top UK PR agencies. 

Journalists: Stephen Davies has a great list of over 300 journalists which is worth checking out.

Jobs: For jobs in PR there are a number of Twitter accounts worth following including @UnicornJobs, @PRJobsLondon, @vox-popPRcareers and @UKYoungPR.

Industry news: To catch up on the latest PR news @therealprmoment, @communicatemag, @Gorkana, @PRWeekUKNews, @Holmesreport, @esPResso_prnews and the PR Daily. 

Industry bodies: @CIPR, @PRCA_UK and for industry news on cultural diversity @Ignite_UKPR.

And of course, you should all follow me.
