In April 2011, Cheryl Burgess (@ckburgess, author of the Blue Focus Marketing Blog) and I first decided to acknowledge some of the phenomenal men and women we’d gotten to know through Twitter. After a bit of discussion, the #Nifty50 award was born.
This year we made the lists more specific, focusing on engaging women and men on Twitter from the technology sector. With the increasing focus on innovation and STEM education in our schools, it seemed an opportune time to recognize these inspiring leaders.
Once again, the selection process was challenging and no doubt a few deserving names were left out. There’s always next year (probably). But no question, the #Nifty50 top men on Twitter and the #Nifty50 top women on Twitter are special.
#Nifty50 recognees can showcase that honor on their blog or website using the badge code below. Please contact @TomPick if you need a different size badge.
