Twitter power | Forbes List

I was delighted to open my e-mails this morning and discover that I’d been named to the Forbes list 20 Best Branded Women on Twitter.  It was fun to be included in a list with Maria Shriver, Kimora Lee, Ivanka Trump, Ann Curry, Kathy Ireland and Alyssa Milano to name just a few.

We’re all so different that it’s hard to image another list where we’d all be named together.  But it just goes to show you the power of Twitter to extend your brand message and personality to an enormous audience.  If you’re not already representing your brand on Twitter, what are you waiting for?

    w00t, w00t. Can’t believe I just w00ted, but I am impressed and proud of you for being one of the 20 most branded women. (I do shudder a bit at the term “branded woman” – the visuals are painful).
    YOu’re good! You deserve it! Go Cindy.
