Don't want to miss catching those brief, juicy news items on Web about that the ways corporations, individuals and not-for-profits are using social networking media and digital technology? Want interesting takes on public relations and communications issues you can use in your own company or organization?

Check out the above twitter by my old friend and former newspaper colleague, Mark Hass.

Hass was until recently worldwide CEO for MS&L, following the acquisition of his own public relations firm, Hass Associates in 2002 by Publicis Groupe.

Mark is one smart fellow and has been on the leading edge of this stuff for years.

"The impact of digital media on corporate communications has fascinated me for years and was the basis of my original 1996 PR start-up," he wrote in a recent post to friends about a new book he's completing. "The industry has made a lot of progress in the years since, but few firms have mastered the delicate balance between excellent traditional corporate communications and the sophisticated use of digital media, especially how those relate to the way companies connect to larger community and global issues."
