(Follow) Friday I’m In Love Part 2
6So sue me, I’m running out of songs with Friday in the title so I have to repurpose this song from The Cure. Anyway, here are my #followfriday picks for this week.
1. Rebecca Denison - she’s another one of the many new people I’ve been exposed to via Twitter and I’ve found her curiosity about social media, and measurement to be refreshing. Follow her @rebeccadenison.
2. Dennis Walsh - there aren’t many people on Twitter sharing interesting items pertaining to investor relations, but Dennis is one of those people. He shares everything from breaking news, to best practices, to general industry trends. We need more IR pros on the social networks. You can follow him @DWalshIR.
3. Michael Russell - Michael is another one of the many helpful people on Twitter, sharing interesting insights from the world of politics, social media and emerging technologies. As an aside, Dix & Eaton has worked with Michael before with great results. You can follow him @plantrussell.
4. Dirk Shaw - Dirk always has interesting things to share about social media, but he makes this list because he and I like to talk about “nerdy” topics like sentiment scoring, measurement and the like. Check out his blog, and follow him @dirkmshaw.
5. My final #followfriday pick is a slightly different variation on the above…This one goes to the Kent State University PR program. Almost everybody I’ve met through Twitter that’s been in the program recently or is still in it raves about how it prepares students for “the real world.” Some of the people you should check out, include @BillSledzik, @csledzik, @khuntley, @StefMoore, @rebeccaodell and @jackielloyd. I know there are others I’ve connected with on Twitter from Kent so If I’ve left you off please come and tell me how much of an idiot I am!
Anyway, hopefully you all have a great weekend

Thanks, Chris. Felt like an idiot this morning trying to come up with all of the names. Hmmm…in fact I don’t think I’m even following all of these. Thanks!

Hey, Chuck. Thanks so much for including me in your picks! I always enjoy keeping up with your #FollowFriday suggestions!

Chuck, many thanks for your vote of confidence and for your gracious comments.

Thanks for the recommendation Chuck. Nerdy as measurement may be - it is a tough topic and I appreciate your insights here as well.
