You’re not considering the age difference here. GenY will use it more. GenX is so-so, and b4 that… slim to none. They just don’t have time for this. They use PR people for that.

CEO’s are a tight-knit club mainly – and as yet it’s not permeated up to the top – but it will.

Lots of relevant examples of where it’s turned companies fortunes around quicker than say – implementing supply-chain management solutions or similar would help.

Impressed as they may be by Barack Obama etc it’s probably still noise level on their radar.

Incidentally – as a social sharing site – I couldn’t post my twitter-handle on the box for some reason – wouldn’t allow the last character

if the big bad ceo’s had any social media (twitter/facebook/linkedin/etc) some low budget intern would be running it in between coffee runs.

Your concept of a top CEO is ridiculous. You obviously have no idea what these guys and girls actually do.

Also, FTA:

“Thank God, I’ve never had to work for a Fortune 100 company”

Careful, now you’re projecting.

not to sound snarky, but fortune100 means the top 100 largest companies (not sure if US only or worldwide in which language would be a separate issue) …. not the CEO of zappos or a start-up….

They actually have something to do with their time. Being as ridiculously highly paid as most top CEOs are, I’d hate to think they were spending even 5 min per day using facebook or twitter. I really don’t think someone in that position needs a “LinkedIn” profile to network, do you?

I am not surprised by this information, formerly working for a PR agency I found that many heads of the companies I represented did not engage personally on social media. They either did not see the importance in being involved on social media or did not get it and in either case would not have been a good representation of the company through social media (without some previous instruction and overviews of how to engage and participate well.

I think the most important thing is that these CEO’s recognize the importance for their company to be actively involved in social media outreach and making a voice among those who engage in it.

Did twitter steal your girlfriend? Its a tool used to exchange information between a company and their customers. I guess ceos have better things to do than find out what their customers needs are.

I’d be pissed if I was a stockholder in a company where the CEO was spending hours twittering about the color of the dump he took in the toilet that morning.
