Cheezhead Recruiting News and Opinion

If you’ve ever wondered what top business professionals are using Twitter and how you can find them, ExecTweets may be able to help.

ExecTweets is a resource that helps you find and follow the top business executives on Twitter. The site aggregates the tweets of top business executives and allows the community to find the most insightful, business-related tweets.

The site encourages readers to vote for the top tweets, and the more votes a tweet gets, the more it is displayed on the main page. The site features a Top Links section that allows readers to see what Web sites are referred to by executives. There also is a Hot Topics area that provides the most popular keyword phases being tweeted by executives.

The site was created by Federated Media in partnership with Microsoft. ExecTweets plans to generate revenue from its current and future sponsors, and hopes to land other deals so it can share some revenue with Twitter.

So far, the site’s users include people such as Amazon.com’s Werner Vogels, Virgin’s Richard Branson, eBay’s Pierre Omidyar, Digg’s Jay Adelson and Kevin Rose, Twitter’s Evan William, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and CollegeRecruiter.com’s Steven Rothberg.

“I was thrilled to learn that the tweets that I post daily and sometimes multiple times per day to Twitter.com/StevenRothberg will receive added exposure from this great new service,” Rothberg said. “Twitter is the fastest growing social media site on the planet and is well integrated with other high traffic social media sites such as Facebook.

“It has grown from being a curiosity to being a phenomenal business tool,” Rothberg added. “And the features provided by ExecTweets will allow those of us who add a lot of post business-related content to Twitter to gain even more exposure from our efforts.”
