Who uses Twitter? As the social networking/”microblog” Twitter.com has come of age and expanded its reach dramatically over the past year, it has reshaped itself into an ideal business tool for busy executives to stay connected. For example, execs can get a “daily stat” from Harvard Business Publishing to keep them in tune with key trends. They can also see what sorts of conversations are going on with investors or other stakeholders through an application called TweetDeck that streams information to their laptop computer or PDA.
When affluent executives take quick vacations to the physical address of their second homes, carrying Twitter along will make perfect sense as a new virtual second home for their communication with those who matter most.
Twitter may become a necessity for a majority of Americans very soon, in fact PCMAG.com‘s Chloe Albanesius makes a great case that the site is wildly relevant, with 7 million unique visitors in February 2009, alone. If you want to see which execs are already using Twitter, check out ExecTweets, where these movers and shakers can compete for a spot in the “Best of ExecTweets” feature.
