It’s been nearly a year since I talked about the value of social media in this blog post on Social Media and the CEO. Since then, I’ve participating in the social media world in one way or another almost every single day.
Along with the blogs, podcasts, and LinkedIn and Xing groups I’m involved with, well over 600 people are following me on Twitter. The applications and value of social media have been really interesting to learn about as I go. And I understand that much of it is an experiment, and that it’s not the quantity of followers that counts, but the quality.
Not only is it great to reach out to new audiences through social media, but I find it engaging and educational listening to what everyone else is saying. So today, I wanted to highlight some recent Tweets sent from people I follow on Twitter.com that I thought were worth passing along to the readers of this blog.
If you are a Twitter user, be sure to explore these Twitter profiles and follow them for more great content.

This is just a snapshot of the great stuff being posted on Twitter all the time. There are tons of people at supply chain and business-related organizations who are Tweeting on topics that might interest you.

P.S. And in case you’re wondering – I am reading that the number of CEOs doing social media is still fairly small. And it depends on the CEO and audience. You may find this piece from Mashable as thought-provoking as I did:
