If Twitter's the key, what does it unlock?

I can't quibble with this (except over the capital letters, perhaps):

In the Social Media era, getting better at Public Relations means getting better at the Relationships, not the Publicity.

Todd Defren's conclusion is more challenging though: Get Into Twitter or Get Outta Public Relations?

But his point is well made. It's not about the tools (a few years ago it was blogging; then podcasting; last year it was Facebook; this year Twitter); it's about engaging in the conversations and gaining a licence to join in or to comment.
