Awards:
Top 100 Business, Leadership and Technology accounts on Twitter
Huffington Post
Selecting the top 100 Twitter accounts that every business, technology, and leadership person should follow on Twitter was not an easy task. To ensure proper due diligence I decided to ask my nearly 11,000 Twitter followers for their input. I was pleasantly surprised by the commonality of their suggestions to my list. My criteria for selecting the very best Twitter accounts was based on three factors:
Content quality: Intelligent, current, thought provoking, forward looking, and inspiring commentary that makes you challenge your own assumptions.
Contribution frequency: Thought leaders who are highly active social networkers and produce daily content that benefits their network.
A willingness to engage:: A willingness to engage the network is what social is all about. Leadership is conversations and the willingness to converse with your network is a very important element of collaboration.
