Business Building with Twitter, Who Should You Be Following?

Are you using Twitter to help in your business building efforts? Twitter is great for connecting B2B, connecting with potential customers, and don’t forget it can also be used to learn many great business building tips & strategies.

Twitter allows you to broadcast text messages up to 140 characters in length, is fast becoming the place where a lot of information is being shared online. You probably already knew this, but, just in case you are new to all of this, I thought a very brief mention of what it is would help.

Who are the people on Twitter who regularly provide information by, about and for small businesses?

Twitter can be an excellent source of information by, about and for small businesses. This list was compiled first from a friends list of people to follow, then I added in more of my favorites. I already know this is a work in progress and that I have not added many that I regularly check on. In other words, this list will grow! Oh, and you may find a couple that really are not business, they are pure humor, but every once in a while, we all need a good laugh!

If you are an entrepreneur and wanting information and advice from credible sources, you should really check out the Twitter handles below.

    I set up a tweep ML list of these names. http://tweepml.org/tweepml-by-keithburtis-5/
    You can follow all of them in one fell swoop if you like.
    I pulled out Ashton Kutcher and one other that are definitely not a good source for business building.

  2. Zane Safrit Says:

    Thanks for including me with a great group of folks on Twitter. Many I know and admire. Those I don’t, now I do.
