After making hundreds of #FollowFriday recommendations on Twitter over the last several months, it finally dawned on us to integrate our #FF efforts into this nifty WordPress.com weblog we contribute to several times each week.
Last week’s feature focused on America’s largest online retailer– Amazon — and was so well received that we are able to justify making a continuing “trend” out of our weekly #FollowFriday tweets finding a more glorified home on our WordPress weblog.
In today’s posting, we will not only share this week’s featured #FollowFriday account, @Microsoft, but also take our readers in for a closer look at twenty five of the one hundred fifty seven Twitter accounts @Microsoft is currently following … a mirror, if you will, into the soul(-cial media) of “the worldwide leader in software, services, and solutions”.
Yep. We just said it … “soulcial media”. We also said “the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions” in the same sentence.
