As I work my way back into a more traditional blogging from almost 100% Lifestreaming, I thought I would start with a familiar subject – a list of Twitter users to follow. I know it may be a bit cliché but what but here you go anyway.
The following is a list of Boston area company CEOs in no particular order from tech companies large and small. The pictures and descriptions come right from their Twitter profiles so please do not blame me for the content. Also, there were a few CEOs that I wanted to include but just could not find a Twitter account online. Add a comment or send me a tweet if your CEO is not listed?

Great list. How many of these actually tweet on their own or do they have someone that watch their accounts?
I believe most of these actually personally tweet vs. ghost tweet. Most of the people I listed are from startups or early tech companies – most are on my follow list.
Hi David- Thanks for the listing. I follow your blog.
Per comment above- My tweets are so insightful it must be a ghost writer… :)
Cheers!
Mike
Mike – no problem. I need to get into TownConnect in more detail.
Your tweets are so insightful…is it a team of writers? =)
Great list. I built a quick Twitter Grader group so you can see the full list of people (with more detail) more easily:

My CEO – @kelkelly – is definitely NOT a ghost. She is wicked funny, though – and incredibly insightful.
@Dharmesh – great idea on the Twitter Grader group. Thank you!
@RedHeadMeag – I would think that all of the CEOs on the list a wicked funny (or at least wicked pissa’) =)
Thanks for the list. It is refreshing to see these startups making a go of it….
