And, yes, the title is a bit misleading. Maybe better titled “Top 5 #CIO – related Tweets” :)

I usually see this sort of thing not in tweets, but in the flood of certain new followers if I inadvertently mention a subject that is perceived to be of “sales value”, so to speak. Tweets tend to come from those folks only if you follow them back.

My favorite example of this phenomenon was when I used the phrase “down in the weeds” in a tweet, and was promptly followed by Herbie Headshop. This is why it’s critically important that people NOT blindly follow whomever follows them; blind following encourages this sort of overzealous and automated twitstream harvesting, resulting in the salesification of an otherwise useful conversational medium. That’s my strong soapbox, anyway.

I have worked with a number of CIOs at Gartner and now in my own advisory firm. CIOs, CTOs and other IT execs may not be slick or thought leaders but it pisses me off how in our industry we give entrepreneurs and VCs and Larry and Mark and Gartner all the kudos.

It starts and end with the customer and it is sign of an unhealthy industry where we grudgingly give them only a bit of token notice.

Aren’t these the top 5 enterprise IT tweets? These are some of my favorite twitter users (you too Chris), but most are not CIOs (luckily for them).
