Businessweek posted an article a couple of days ago that discussed twitter and listed the top 20 people that entrepreneurs should follow.  While this type of a post isn’t typical of our blog (i.e. it isn’t financially focused) we thought it would be helpful for business owners looking to both understand how they can use twitter to help grow their business and who they should follow to obtain good business focused information.

What a lot of folks don’t realize is that twitter isn’t just a promotional tool, it is also a place where you can get information fed to you from a variety of outstanding sources. The businessweek article lists 20 of these sources that tweet very useful entrepreneurial information.  We were happy to see that a number of people on that list were favorites of FeeFighters as well.  Here are some of our favorite twitterers from the Businessweek list.
