Your first 100 HR Twitter follows

Twitter.

In late December I posted 'An Introduction to Twitter for the HR Student', which was meant to be a guide and starting point for my HR Grad Students, as well as HR professionals who were interested in diving in the world of Twitter.  That post can be found here - and remains by far the most viewed post on this blog.

About a month has passed since that post, and I have since found and been found by many, many more talented, informative, interesting, funny, and fantastic HR Tweeps, so I thought I would try to expand the 'Introductory' HR Twitter list, and see if I (we) could come up with the definitive (for today) list of the 100 first follows for the HR student or professional.  So without further ado, lets see how far we can get.

I think it's a great to know how certain professions start to adopt the new technologies available, especially when others are trying to fight against the changes of these; like music labels! By the way, do you have any information about viagra without prescription sales in the last two years? I've been trying to find something but I'm not that good with internet researches.

It seems like there's a huge battle on the internet fields between Twitter and Facebook! Nothing bigger since generic viagra vs Pfizer! Honestly, I prefer Facebook, what do you think?

Twitter followers of purchase is the easy way out. Someone said that the money for all the answers so you can buy the followers on Twitter. All you have to do is shop and get the best deals, give you targeted twitter later. There are people who install software that monitors incoming tweets for their niche. Consequently, it is often advisable to Tweet, tweet, and ensure that they are high-quality content. This not only ensures you have followers, but to get targeted followers.
