I’m so honored to share with that i’ve been included in part of the 2013 #Nifty50 awards which honor 50 men and 50 women who actively engage on Twitter. With an impressive exposure of  more than 50 million people (according to topsy) this award has gone totally viral across social media with 7,000 tweets & retweets (wowzers!). 

The #Nifty50 was also featured in the new book by Mark (@mnburgess) and Cheryl Burgess (@ckburgess), The Social Employee.  A huge thank you to Tom Pick and Cheryl Burgess who selected the #Nifty50 from people who according to the blog post both write and produce content and actively engage on twitter. As Tom’s editors note in the original post includes, we are in fact not related, although we do share a fantastic last name!

The 2013 honorees include both full-time (e.g., journalists, authors, or PR professionals) and part-time writers (e.g., bloggers), and include some of my influencers who I often find myself engaging with online and offline at industry conferences, this list which includes many who I look up and respect deeply! Make sure to follow & subscribe to Tom’s Twitter list as well!
