I've said from the very start that the marketplace should stop trying to qualify, quantify and justify their presence on Twitter. And as I said recently on a podcast for my friend Gabriel Garcia at WiredCU, "just be there...whether you are an individual or company". Twitter is about creating "opportunities" to "tell your story"!
Recently my presence on Twitter directly led to an opportunity to "tell my own story". As a result, I have accepted a position as Regional VP of Sales, Credit Unions, for Contiunity Engine. It's a dream position for me because I am working with a group of innovative colleges who are building an exciting new program on a platform that is anchored by social media...Twitter, blogs, podcasting, crowdsourcing, etc. And best of all, I have the opportunity to focus solely on my favorite group of clients---Credit Unions.
To the almost 400 "tweeting CUs" we're tracking on CUTweetTrack, rest assured that our efforts to bring you the most complete list of Credit Unions using Twitter will continue. My original objective for CUTweetTrack remains in tact...to provide a "hub" for CU TweetMasters---with "information", not speculation! Who knows, I might even be able to talk my new boss, Andy Greenewald, into springing for some $$$ to offer for certain CU Twitter accomplishments...like "best" success story, most "tweets",
