It’s Thanksgiving week again, that time of year when we gather with family and friends to celebrate our gratitude for what matters most.
We’re thankful as always for our customers, partners, co-workers, and our social media relationships. But as our Twitter following has more than doubled in the past year, we’re especially thankful this year for a particularly enlightening and engaging group: the truly social CIOs on Twitter.
Here’s our list of the top 22, not ranked but arranged alphabetically by last name. For anyone interested in enterprise technology and leadership trends, this is a fantastic group to follow.
