Keeping up to date with Economics and Business on Twitter

Saturday, February 14, 2009

Twitter is taking the social networking space by storm. If you are not tweeting yet, you might soon be. So how can you keep up-to-date with relevant Tweeters?

Twitter is a great way to keep in touch, and make direct contact with people and organisations that share your interests.

So who to follow on Twitter? That’s very much a personal preference of course. And Twitter is still at the launch phase of its life cycle, so many potential Tweeters are yet to signup.

Here is a list of Twitter accounts that you might find useful:
