Madalyn’s Top 10 Fave Twitter Peeps
In case you haven’t figured it out, I’m a big Twitter fan. I was an early adopter, on it before any of my friends. Twitter is an amazing tool to stay informed, connected and engaged. I was reporting on Twitter live from the ASCAP Expo back in 2008 when most people had not heard or knew what Twitter was. I did generate a buzz with my live, real-time micro-blogging. Back then only a handful were following my reports from the Expo. But it was cool. Soon after that the Twitter craze took off and others saw how they could use it to benefit their band, brand or business. So today I thought I would share who I listen to on Twitter. Who engages me. Who keeps me informed. It’s a group of people in the music biz that I follow throughout the day and I wanted to share it with you. My top 10. They are in no particular order. I highly recommend you follow them all.
