Forbes Woman 20 Inspiring Women To Follow On Twitter

February 10, 2010 · By Sloane Davidson, Founder and CEO, Hello Neighbor

I'm utterly honored this week to find myself on Forbes Woman's list of 20 Inspiring Women to Follow. I look at the list of the other women included and am wowed by them and their passion, drive and accomplishments. If we are the sum of the people we spend the most time with and the circles we're in, then I am in good company!

Big thank you to the author of the post, Halle Tecco for being a big supporter of mine. I simply can't wait to see where we all are a few years from now and Halle certainly deserves to be on the list in addition to authoring it.

From the introduction:

Research from the Harvard Business Review last year showed that women get less love on Twitter than men. While the random sample of 300,000 Twitter users showed that men and women follow a similar number of Twitter users, men have 15% more followers. "This is intriguing," the authors noted, given that there are more women than men Twitter users: 55% to 45%. Further, men are almost twice more likely to follow another man than a woman while women are 25% more likely to follow a man than a woman.

What can be done about this? We can start by seeking out and following more women on Twitter and other social networks. Below are 20 absolutely inspirational women who are tweeting up a female storm.

In celebration, I created a Twitter List featuring them all that you can follow HERE.
