What role should SEO play in an overall PR strategy or campaign?

Traditionally, public relations is about crafting strategic messages that communicate exactly what the organization wants people to hear.  Today, more and more businesses are creating their own content in the form of blogs, articles, “Tweets,” and white papers.

Are Web apps and services heading to extinction? Mobile applications can embed common web functionality and interfaces--or--within commonly used apps, such as e-mail?

Specifically, web-based apps like Twitter have new competition in apps, which integrate micro-blogging directly into your e-mail.

Another example would be the many web-based calendar and event services. These independent web apps have their own interfaces.
