Your user group is exposed on Twitter. You have no control on who is harvesting your subscriber information. I did notice that for NYTimes I was unable to harvest their subscriber list using TweetAdder, but I suspect there are ways. If I were a large subscriber based company I would not want my customer list out in cyberspace.

Have you put any consideration into how IR firms should or should not be using Google.com/Adsense to solicit activity in their ads? I have thought a message would be fine, however, they should not be including the companies ticker symbol or name in the ads.

I have written about this a few times at http:// PennyMarkets.com

As Lucy mentions, “Top” can be a tricky term, but maybe we’ll take a crack at that here on Corporate Eye soon.

Hi Courtney – that’s a very interesting question, not least because I’m not sure how you’d rank corporate twitter accounts. Are you looking for a list of twitter accounts for the biggest companies, or a list of the most successful twitter accounts? Some of the biggest companies have many twitter accounts; others only one. And it is very difficult to measure ‘success’ or ‘best’ for a Twitter account from the outside; if the Twitter account is working for that company, achieving what they hoped for when they set it up, then it is successful for them, even if it isn’t the most frequently updated or have the most followers. I don’t think Twitter is a numbers game, but I’d be interested to know what you thought.

I don’t know of a ranking list, but Peter Kim has a wiki with a lot of information on (here: http://wiki.beingpeterkim.com/). There are other lists of companies being created; the problem with all these lists is that they get outdated very quickly.

Does anyone else know of such a list?
