I don’t know about you guys, but I am SO FAR BEHIND when it comes to fully leveraging the power of social networking tools for establishing a personal brand for business. Sure, I’ve got profiles on Facebook and LinkedIn, but I mainly use those to connect with my friends. I have a Twitter account, but I barely use it for anything other than getting the word out about new entries that I post on my website. And, I’m just now getting turned onto the whole FourSquare craze, which is sad because my man Tristan is their VP of Business Development and I should have known better 🙂

I’m particularly intrigued by Twitter because of is meteoric rise in popularity and its ubiquity in our society today. I know several people who have been able to develop fantastic brand identity through the use of 140-character strings. People from celebrities to corporate executives to regular people are using Twitter to share their thoughts with the world. Who would have thought that something like this would have been possible a couple of years ago. Gotta love the way that technology enables us to get closer and closer to each other.

I’m also mentioning Twitter because it is the foundation upon which the article that I’m featuring in this entry is based. The article referenced below comes to us from the folks at OnlineDegree.net and lays out a collection of CEO Twitter feeds that are worthy of being followed. The founder of that OnlineDegree.net, Anna Miller, recently reached out to me to share the article because she thought it could be of interest to my reader base and, after reading it, I would wholeheartedly agree. Those you who are interested in learning about how some members of the CEO community think might want to check this article out and start following a few of the folks listed.
