Leaders on Twitter
admin November 20th, 2008
As of the time of this post, Twitter has around a million members.
Many members’ tweets are minimally beneficial to readers… an example would be, “Just brushed my teeth and am having breakfast.” Such members are ordinary Tweeters.
But there are some Tweeters who are real leaders.
How do you recognize a real leader? Simple: you look for certain traits. Here they are:
- Real leader trait 1: S/he responds to your “@” messages and direct messages
- Real leader trait 2: All his/her tweets are not promotional
- Real leader trait 3: S/he has more than 1,500 followers
- Real leader trait 4: S/he has a good website
- Real leader trait 5: You benefit from all her/his tweets in some way or other
- Real leader trait 6: S/he has a photo posted in her/his profile
- Real leader trait 7: S/he tweets at LEAST 4 times a day and tweets EVERY day (holidays excepted)
So who, at the present time, are my real leaders on Twitter? Here they are:
Dr. Mani, pediatric heart surgeon and Infopreneur. Dr Mani’s Website
Mari Smith, foremost Facebook expert of our time. Mari’s Website
Willie Crawford, amazing Internet marketing expert. Willie’s Website
Deborah Micek, new media marketing and political consultant. Deb’s Website
These people have all the traits I listed above. It’s pleasure reading their tweets and communicating with them. Follow them on Twitter, you’ll be glad you did.
So who are your real leaders on Twitter?
If you let me know, I’ll sample their tweets, and if they meet the above criteria, I’ll even update my above list of leaders with their names!
Cheers,
