On Friday I had quite the shock when my email inbox was suddenly filled with notifications of new followers on Twitter. A quick check of Tweetdeck gave me the answer when I was humbled to learn that Ad Age had named me one of "25 Media People to Follow on Twitter." I have a tough time believing I should be on the same list as business luminaries like John Battelle, Mark Cuban, and Chris Anderson but I am honored all the same.
Here are a few of the other very deserving folks that made the list:
Mark Cuban (@mcuban) - Owner of HDNet (and the Dallas Mavericks)
John Battelle (@johnbattelle) - Founder and Chairman of Federated Media
Chris Anderson (@chr1sa)- Wired Magazine editor
Jeff Lanctot (@lanctot) - Chief Strategy Officer at Razorfish
David Carr (@carr2n) - New York Times media columnist
David Berkowitz (@dberkowitz) - Emerging Media Director at 360i
Brian Lam (@blam) - Editorial Director at Gizmodo
Pete Cashmore (@mashable) - Founder/CEO of Mashable, the social-media blog
Fred Wilson (@fredwilson) - Managing Partner of Union Square Ventures
Thanks to Nat Ives (@natives), Abbey Klaassen (@amklaassen), and Michael Learmonth (@learmonth) for the honor of making the list. And a special thank you to everyone who takes the time to read this blog and follow my ramblings on Twitter. I really, really appreciate it.
