On Twitter we are following some of the most influential, passionate and cool women in business. We wanted to share our 2009 Top 18 Women on Twitter personal suggestions you should check out and consider following on Twitter.
What they have to say (or tweet) about is of interest to me as a women business owner. Their 140 characters or less Tweets motivate me to learn and grow which is the main reason they are on this list. Not because they have a zillion followers!
Please comment on other women you recommend we add to the list. The recommendation should be someone on Twitter you find to be influential, passionate or have really cool ideas.
Here is our list of the 2009 Top 18 Women on Twitter (in no particular order):
