BusinessWeek: CEOs on Twitter (but they spelled my name wrong)
- jakewolf 18y agoAre there no female CEOs or are there no women on twitter? I know the answer to both. 18 CEOs and business week can only find males.
- shafqat 18y agoVery good point. If you look at my slide (NewsCred), my favorite person to twitter is a female: Padmasree - she's the CTO of Cisco. So that proves that there are women twittering, and more importantly, women in high-profile C-level jobs. But looking again, there are 3 women in the list. So saying they can ONLY find males is a bit unfair.
- jonknee 18y agoThere are three in the slides (Christine Perkett, Kel Kelly and Lois Paul)... That's higher than average than the number of female CEOs in business, especially tech.
- tptacek 18y agoThis is a pretty weak batch of CEOs.
- shafqat 18y agoThanks tptacek ;-) (no offense taken).
- tptacek 18y agoI'm sorry. You're right, I didn't mean to be an asshole (this time). I was thinking, "this is a list of CEOs of tech companies who of course will say they like Twitter; it would have been interesting instead to see a list of executives from mainstream companies who found it useful."
- shafqat 18y agoHey no apology needed - I count all the regulars on HN as friends, so everything taken with a grain of salt!
- catone 18y agoEr, Johnathan Schwartz has 12 updates (says 11 in the article) and we're supposed to think he's an actual Twitter user? Some of the inclusions in the article seemed like kind of a stretch. A few of the people on this list are only barely "on Twitter."
