It’s Friday again, and the #FollowFriday undertone of this post seems to be more than appropriate.
I don’t know about you, but the amount of information (from quality to mere noise) distributed via social media overwhelms me at times… So, as mentioned not too long ago, one of the methods that I use is that of sorting and filtering.
Now, over the course of the past four years, some of the people that I follow have gained enormous respect in my eyes — mainly, due to the high-quality, thought-provoking information (and thoughts) that they constantly share. Today I’d like to share their names with you (the order is merely alphabetical; descriptions taken from their Twitter profiles):

If I have missed a marketer (or researcher) whose thinking and tweeting (or blogging) moves you, please do add them through the “Comments” are below.
Thanks for the list Geno…. I bookmarked the ones I didn’t have. BTW, the link from Smart Insights Blog was broken, I had to do a search to get it.
Good catch, Brad! Thank you. I’ve just fixed that link.
Thanks for another great list of people to follow!
My pleasure.
Thanks for the list. One thinker’s work I could suggest is Gerry Spence.
Thanks, Jason. God his blog’s URL and/or Twitter handle?
Sure, the blog URL is: gerryspence.wordpress.com,
Twitter handle: twitter.com/#!/gerryspence/. I would also recommend his books, “How To Argue and Win Every time,” “Win Your Case” etc.
Thanks for these, Jason. I’ve linked the blog’s URL in your comment. Sorry to see that he doesn’t blog that often (even though I love the quality of his posts) — only 7 posts over 2011. Haven’t linked his (?) Twitter account in the above comment, as it doesn’t look like Gerry tweets at all.
Will definitely check out his books. Thanks again for the suggestion.
Glad to help, Geno.
