Are You Tweeting with CEOs?

by Jim Spencer on June 10, 2010

I received a Tweet informing me that I was Tweeted by six CEOs.  This caught my attention because I had never thought about which folks are CEOs.

I replied to the tweet suggesting that it might be possible that not all of the folks on my list are actually CEOs.  The reply informed me that it is a best effort and acknowledged that there are gray areas of course.  It was further explained that they try to be “C-level-ish”.

Does your Twitter profile indicate you are a CEO?

ConversationaLIST Twitter Application

by Jim Spencer on December 21, 2009 · 7 comments

Twitter Lists continue to add interest to the Twitter experience.  Recently I found myself on a couple of people’s lists with the same name. The list was named Conversationalist. I thought, hmmm.  Am I really that conversational with that person?

Some time later I discovered that there is an application, named Conversationalist, that has been put to the task of making the lists.  All you have to do is sign up (Login via Twitter)  and it takes over, quite literally.

The ConversationaLIST

The ConversationaLIST - Click to visit

The ConversationLIST adds someone to the list if you @ someone. If you stop @ them, then they fall off the list. As they say on their site;

once someone follows your list, it means that they automatically see the tweets from the people that you’re sending @replies to, retweeting, or mentioning, so your tweets don’t appear in a vacuum. Your followers see what the people who influence you are saying on Twitter.

Is ConversationLIST helping you track the conversations that interest you?
