My Twitter Follow List

I got this concept from my good friend Jeffrey Summers. I will freely admit that I am essentially plagiarizing a lot of the verbiage because why reinvent the wheel. This is my personal list of Twitterers that I follow and who I feel are absolute rockstars at not only what they do but are simply very engaging people who are dedicated to a philosophy of giving back, adding value to their actual relationships with others and who are open to new ways of thinking and ideas. I include people at my discretion. You can ask but unless we have engaged in a meaningful way and consistenly interact, it probably won’t happen. Social Media is about supporting real relationships and that takes as much time and effort online as it does in the real world.

Still interested? This is the basic list;

1. You must be following me @StevenMatsumoto or my company @Stigmare.
   [Please be aware that I do not auto-follow anyone back. I will only follow you if you appear to be contributing to the conversation.]
2. Send me a DM with the category you wish to be included in
3. You’re dedicated to adding value to those who follow you and not selling or pushing crap as an agenda. Social Media isn’t about the hard sell.
4. You have completed the ‘follow’ list requirements from my Twitter Policy page.

Some really great people I respect, admire and engage with will not appear here [@chrisbrogan, @guykawasaki, @scobleizer] because they are far enough up on the Twitter food chain to fend for themselves, and while some that are listed here fall into that category, I included them because I love them too much not to and besides, it’s my list so I can do whatever I want.

Some of the Sharpest Ladies I know!
