Twitter is growing at a staggering pace. Not only are politicians, celebrities and businesses into it, busy executives are starting to show interest in the Twitter community. For executives who’re into Twitter, the division between life and work is often blurred. I am sure many of us are curious to what they are tweeting. In fact, some of their tweets were so well-received, they started a poll to explore those more favored by the tweeple. We go by the votes, which are received via ExecTweets.

All times are times of uncertainty. We just notice it sometimes more than others because something big shakes us from our complacency.
