This is a series I’m writing on people you need to be paying attention to and following on Twitter. I’ll talk about who they are and why they are among the few people who show up in a special column on my TweetDeck interface.
Who to follow: The first in my “You Should Follow” series is @IAC_Heather.
About her: @IAC_Heather is Heather Villa, a business and productivity coach, accountant, and basically a genius. (Disclosure: She’s also a client, vendor, and friend — yeah, it’s convoluted). Check out her site at HeatherVilla.com.
Why follow her: I like following @IAC_Heather because her tweets are real. Other people tweet valuable insights and pithy quotes but Heather is Heather on Twitter. Although I love inspiring quotes, Heather’s tweets are demonstrative of Twitter use that is embedded in life. She isn’t just tweeting because it’s good for business; she’s tweeting because its a way for her to connect and engage with people. She’s connecting, talking, joking, ranting, networking, and basically (IMO) doing what Twitter was originally designed for.
If you’re not following Heather, you really should be. Follow her at @IAC_Heather.
