Notice I didn’t use the word expert. It's absent from their, also, from the bios of these smart people with social media.

This is a list of 14 smart people who use social media...well. Well’s definition includes their content, their willingness to share and help others, their ability to use the tools of social media, their clarity in writing, their consistency over the years, they push, they listen, they’re accountable, they grow, they have a great sense of humor. Did I miss any criteria? Let me know.

This isn’t a comprehensive list. I’m sure there is another 10 such lists of 14 each I could put together. My apologies for not including everyone. I will next time. But I was asked by a client beginning to embrace this thing called social media where they could find more? Here with these people is a good start.

Who are yours?

Notice I didn’t include any links for these folks. They are easy to find, with all their social media tools and communities, with a search using their names. Maybe you’ll like their blog, or their Facebook, their Twitter or Tumblr, podcasts or YouTube....
