Tweet, Tweeps, What?

It seems that Social Media is coming in all shapes and sizes these days. Everyone remembers MySpace for it's meteoric rise and sudden crash. Facebook has now entered into the market as the major place for finding friends, colleagues, coworkers and shockingly...your parents and grandparents. Everything we do and say can now be found in the digital world. We leave behind a digital footprint for everyone to follow. The big question becomes, how do we control our brand in the age of everything digital?

An intriguing way for accountants and accounting professionals to do this is through Twitter. A lot of people have had a difficult time making sense of micro-blogging. Essentially it seems like a waste of time...who would read what you have to say? Who even cares? The truth is in the details. There's a wealth of information out there, but how do you find it? Twitter essentially acts as a filter for data. You choose who you want to follow and receive information from.
