Guy Kawasaki
Marketing & Business Expert, Entrepreneur, Twitter Royalty
How Tweet He Is.....In a world where Ashton Kutcher is the "King of Twitter"; Guy Kawasaki is Prince Charming.... He has had an extraordinary influence on how this social media network is used for businesses and building your personal brand. His expertise on building a brand roots back to the mid 80s when he worked for Apple and was marketing the Macintosh.Guy is an active writer having published 9 books and is changing the world one blog post on How to Change the World - A Practical Blog for Impractical People. He also publishes Alltop.com a site that aggregates the latest headlines from the worlds most reliable sources (helps to avoid search engine overload). We think he is a wonderful role model for new Twitter users (if ever in doubt, ask yourself - What Would GK do?) He believes in 2 way communication because he listens and responds to his followers. If you want to get an idea of what will be hot in the future- stay in touch with Guy....he always seems to be ahead of the rest of us.

- My vote also goes to Mike Michalowicz. He's big online. But he is really impressive in person. I went to his speaking event at CEO (1,500 people) and he had everyone on their feet.
