Twitter Blog Funnel

I recently started a free Twitter IR blog aggregation service on Twitter that goes by the Twitter handle @IRThoughts. While the idea of aggregating blog feeds and posting them to Twitter is not new or unique, I decided to start my own for the simple reason that I can pick and choose the blogs that I like.

I have selected a diverse group of blogs focusing on matters that appeal to investor relations professionals. I am happy to take requests from people if there are any blogs that you would like me to add. I have chosen to follow blogs that present opinions and ideas in a professional manner and who are respectful of dissenting opinions. I will not be following any blogs whose authors fail to treat others with respect.

I launched @IRThoughts on Saturday and it already has 25 followers. The interesting thing is that 40% of these followers are not following me at my @meetthestreet handle (I would encourage you to do so).

I am excited to offer this service to my IR friends as a way to help keep them informed on the issues of the day. I am also excited to use this platform as a way to reach out to other IR professionals who I am not currently engaged with. For all of @IRThoughts' new followers, I would like to invite you to join #irchat which I host every Thursday at 1:00 PM EST. #irchat is a great engagement platform where IR related issues are discussed and debated.

Please let me know what yo think of @IRThoughts and please let me know if there are blogs that you would like me to add to the list.
