Want a list of Australian CEOs that are on Twitter? Scroll to the bottom.
Business Week have a piece on each CEO that uses the so-called 'microblogging' service Twitter. I don't like the term micro-blogging when applied to Twitter as it's less of a one-to-many asynch depth of content site like a video blog or a multimedia blog and more of a few-to-few synchronous chat channel.
Tweets From the Chiefs
The best chief executives are nothing if not efficient, and what's more efficient than 140-character memos?
Microblogging site Twitter is the latest tech tool to enter the C-suite. Whether they are broadcasting quick company updates, sharing a personal side of their lives with employees, or networking with other executives, plenty of CEOs have begun to make tweets part of their daily routine. And it's not just the Silicon Valley crowd—chief executives in marketing, publishing, and retail are also populating the site.
Here's the list:
Kevin Rose from Digg
Tony Hsieh from Zapppos
Jasaon Calacanis from Mahalo (former Netscape no?)
Michael Arrington from TechCrunch
Loic LeMeur from Seesmic
Tim O'Reilly from O'Reilly MediaJack Dorsey from Twitter
David Sifry from Technorati
Christine Perkett from PerkettPR
Michael Hyatt from Thomas Nelson
Jeff Bonforte from Xobni

Hey Laurel – I post comments too!
Yes dear you do *rolls eyes* Heh.
CEOs that Twitter:
- Atlassian: Mike Cannon-Brookes (mcannonbrookes)
- 2Vouch: Riges Younan (rigesyounan)
- Linqia: Maria Sipka (mariasipka) – cheating a bit because Maria is an Aussie in BarcelonaPollenizer doesn't have a CEO… or has two…
Craig Wilson aka Media Hunter at Sticky Advertising
Stephen Collins aka trib at Acid Labs
Oh not sole-owner CEOs – I think Business Week meant employing people and stuff. Otherwise I'm on the list and so are half of our industry
John Butterworth, AIMIA, @jbdigital
Paul Fischer, IAB, @PaulFisher_IAB
Wendy Hogan, CBS Interactive, @wendy_hoganIt's also interesting to think about how they might have started on twitter?
That's what I'm asking today.
You beat me to the punch, Laurel! Great post, as always!
Hey Laurel, I blog a little, too, albeit very infrequently, at http://blog.3eep.com (and, while SportsPassion is our key product brand, the company is still 3eep)
I have four staff. Is that too micro-business for your list? If not, you could add Bridge8 (http://twitter.com/kristinalford)
I'm also on Twitter with 4 staff, we'll actually be using it for BETA testing soon.
C'mon Laurel, show some love…? -
I would add CEO of ineedhits (30 odd staff) Warren Duff http://twitter.com/warrenduff
And also myself CEO of Minti (a few staff and $3.8M in funding to date) http://twitter.com/claycook
I will think of some others for you.
Good post.
Clay Cook -
I'm also an Aussie CEO who tweets
Lets hope we are just the tip of the iceberg!
another aussie.. Chris Saad http://twitter.com/ChrisSaad
Hi Laurel, I am there as well. http://twitter.com/Simonvw
Hey Laurel,
Excellent post, great stuff. There is also a bigger picture of who are the continuous innovators (Proven Innovators) and continuous early adopters (and influencers) that would be cool to list or map. Happy to collaborate sometime on that if you want.
For this list you could also add –
Marc Lehmann Saasu.com, ex Deutsche Bank
marclehmann.netPeter Cooper from Cooper Sydney, ex Saasu.com + MacBank (me)
peterjcooper.com and alturnal.comCheers, Peter.
Hey Laurel
Good to see some Australian CEO's Twittering away tooI think there's a few on there I'll have to start following myself
Am thinking perhaps I should come up with a similar list for some UK CEO's – I'm sure there's quite a few that twitterIf I do come up with that list – do you want me to let you know about it?
Yes, please let me know which UK CEOs Twitter. The only one I can think of, off hand, is @RichardBranson.
@bronwen – NorgMedia
@richardgiles – Recommendation Ventures -
hmmm…does it count if you're about to employ people, and are part owned by other big fat companies

Kate Tribe's last blog post..The 3+ / 3- guide
What a great post Laurel.
I think that social media, and in particular Twitter, is going to become a tool of trade for the go ahead CEOs and companies in 2009 who want to brand themselves.
Using such tools at Tweetbeep (which seems to be down at the moment) and Twilert, they can be alerted to the mention of their name good or bad. They can thank people for the compliments and put fires out generated by bad comments before they become viral.
Twitter is an enormous weapon in the PR arsenal of any company and used wisely and with conviction will see many a company increase their sales and also their branding and perception in the marketplace. I for one will be looking for opportunities to work with such companies in showing them how to do this as will many experienced social media people.
@RicRaftis on Twitter
Hey Laurel,
Thanks for including me in your list. Yes, I do twitter and while relatively new am getting a lot of learning and benefits both personally and also for my members (of the Australian Businesswomen's Network – http://www.abn.org.au).
What I didn't anticipate is new friendships that are forming from having found like-minded souls that I want to know more about.
Thanks for playing on the edge and taking us with you.
Who tweets?http://tinyurl.com/76358j
It is definitely good to see CEO's out there on Twitter, though by and large they appear to be the CEO's for start ups or relatively new businesses in the tech space – which is no surprise. I would really like to see more CEO's from more traditional industries and bigger companies on Twitter. That could be very entertaining!
Plz If you are a company/CEO follow @inc5000. If also Australian plz see http://twurl.nl/tdh8my Not really looking for sole operators, soz.
[…] means that it becomes much easier to catch the eye and ear of an individual. Whether they be the CEO of an Australian company, Malcolm Turnbull on Twitter or a celebrity like Stephen Fry, on services like Twitter you can find […]
What about Drazen Drazic @ddrazic http://twitter.com/ddrazic CEO of Securus Global http://www.securusglobal.com/
He is also marketing lead for AISA.

Finally, after a long campaign my boss at Geekdom @troyrushton has embraced the Twitter-y goodness. I'm so proud! I think he's been pleasantly surprised at how powerful a tool it can be for talking to likeminded people and sharing his passion.
One more American CEO to follow is @jobing, Aaron Matos, CEO of the largest locally focused job board in the U.S. Also, here's a list of my favorite 15 CEO's to follow on Twitter…here's the link: http://jobpal.com/hfi6

Maci turned around quickly when she saw a girl in what looked similar to some sort of Lolita dress with red hair talking to her. Amber burst into laughter immediately and Maci raised her hand and announced, "Shut up Amber." to her. The girl introduced herself as Aire, which was an odd name but neat, Maci guessed. "I'm Maci." she said simply and Amber chimed in right behind her with, "Is there a reason you came up to us? You're not exactly our type of company." Amber scolded, and Maci raised her hand again, "Shut. Up. Amber." she said again. Amber looked irritated. Normally Maci would be right there with her making fun of the girl, if she hadn't come up to them. Maci liked anyone who had the courage to come up to a group like theirs, most people found them to be intimidating bitches, so she liked seeing those who wanted to see if that was true or not. "It's nice to meet you Aire, ignore Amber, she can be a b***h. Where are you from?" she asked noticing her accent.

I know I haven't posted a whole lot lately. I just haven't been in the mood at all. DH and I had considered doing another round of Injectibles/IUI in December but I didn't meet the cutoff date before they closed for the holiday. The timing would have been perfect though.
DH wanted to do a round next cycle then when my next AF starts, but now I'm fighting with the stress that comes with it. You see, my job IS NOT flexible schedule wise. I work a set shift that rotates weekly. I can start work anywhere from 7AM to 4PM, and it's an 11 week rotation. In those 11 weeks I work 2 weekends. While it is not flexible, I can ask my manager for modified shifts (i.e. to come in later due to the cycle monitoring) and she can approve it. The problem I have with this is...well, there are many problems.
I have social anxiety. I have for years. I have been doing good overall but lately (i.e. the last year) I feel like I've been slipping. I just don't want to see people, talk to people, anything. I don't want to be around people or make plans or do anything social that involves me being around anyone. I just want to be at home all the time and avoid the outside world.
So the first problem is asking my manager to come in later to work. I fear one-on-one situations which is the core of my social anxiety. Large groups I'm fine but close personal get togethers freak me out. When I did my cycle that failed in October I spent weeks with major anxiety just dreading having to bring it up with her. I was having panic attacks at work all day long just thinking about it. I hate hate hate talking about myself when it comes to anything personal. I just HATE it and the anxiety level gets so high when I try that I usually end up crying just from the fear and then I just embarass myself further.
The second problem with this modified schedule is that if I ask my manager to start work later, then everyone at work will wonder why and ask questions. I work with 95% guys, and I really don't want to tell them where I am going yet they will all wonder and gossip. But at the same time we work a set schedule. For me to do anything outside the set schedule means I HAVE to tell me team ahead of time that I won't be in a X time on X days and I will instead be in at X time. I don't have to give a reason per se but I do have to advise everyone via email in case anyone is looking for me. And if my cycle monitoring falls on one of the weeks where I'm the first person in at 7 AM I have to find someone else to cover me, which is really hard to do without telling them why.
The third problem is the clinic. I can't book more than one monitoring appt in advance. So I won't know until the day before the approx time I will be in to work. Then again, sometimes the clinic does the u/s and blood work in 10 minutes, sometimes it takes an hour so I can never say for sure what will happen or when I will be in to work 100%. And I hate that. It stresses me out not being able to plan ahead. I could go in for 7 AM on one day and go to book the next day and not be able to get a slot until 8 AM. If I get anything past 8 AM, sometimes I miss my 9:10 train and the only next option to get to work is 10:10 train and that puts me in at 11:30. And if I get in at 11:30 AM I have to stay until 7:30 PM which sucks!
So...if you stuck with me reading this, thank you. Basically, I'm a huge chicken and the last time I did this I'm wondering if it was the stress of it all that made it not work. I just don't see a way out of the stress hole I've dug myself into... No matter which way I look at it I won't be able to calm down during the cycle. There are too many factors that are just going to make me stressed. I just hate being the centre of attention or being singled out. I just like to hide in my corner at work and do my thing without being noticed....
So sorry abt your aggrevation only thing to suggest is maybe to have something in writing instead of actually having to speak with her .. I thought monitoring was only done with IVF
Rachel - I am so sorry for the stress and aggrivation. We all have our crosses to bear TTC if we are on this board. All I can say is I hope you don't give up because you are a wonderful warm person and you will be a wonderful mom.
TTC since 2009
11/16/11 9wks
8/30/12 Lucas Anthony & Olivia Ann arrived at 37 weeks
I'm so sorry you're having to go through this, Rach.
Could you tell them (in an email) that you have a female medical issue to deal with? Most men won't ask for details on that one.

I can relate to your situation. Back when we were doing treatments we did the cycle monitoring for IUI's as well. Every day from cycle day 10 thru IUI. I run a home day care and live a good 45 minutes from my RE. I would have my mom come over (which is half an hour out of her way) and watch my kiddos while I ran in to be there when the doors open at 7am. Or I'd take the little ones with me after the older kids went to school and had a friend stay in the car with them. It was a stressful time. I was going to suggest the same thing as Mary. Just say it's a female medical issue. Men will not ask any questions after you say that. *Hugs* I hope you find a way to get that cycle in.
I can relate to the anxiety of having to tell work about missing due to monitoring. I am fortunate in the sense that my job is more flexible, but when I had to miss work for IVF and IUI monitoring I had to say something to my co-workers. I told my male supervisor that I had a "medical condition" that required monitoring and treatment. I told him that I wouldn't know times/days until I had test results from my current appointment, but that I would let him know as early as possible. I told co-workers I had a "treatable medical condition" and that I would be returning to my normal schedule soon. There was another co-worker who was going through a kidney transplant about the same time and I know others were concerned that something serious might be wrong with me, too. That was why I added "treatable." If you even hint that you have a "female" condition, men will back off quickly! The hardest part for me was talking to my supervisor. I hadn't had a full blown panic attack in years, but was afraid that would induce one. Fortunately, it didn't and I felt much better after telling him. If you don't feel like you would be able to talk to your supervisor face-to-face, I suggest writing a brief letter. Emphasize that you will make sure you keep them informed of appointment times and that you will continue to apply yourself at work and they should be fine.
I have no suggestion, but I'm here for you.
I think you're still young enough to try other avenues of TTC that are not so stressful. Like acupuncture or massages. I gotta tell ya, I'm doing this one round of IVF and then quitting. Rather just TTC natural because those early mornings do stink. I wish it was easier... there are some clinics that are more flexible with testing times if they know you have job obligations. Maybe ask the clinic for different testing hours.

1992 Dodge Grand Caravan SE 3dr Minivan
20 years old and still going strong
Since I only live 10 minutes from work the miles have been kept low. 120,00 on it now.
Still runs great with plenty of pep from the V-6.
Gas milage averages 14 MPG
Have had it for 13 years and never had an engine or transmission problem with it.
Power windows and front seat all still work.
The speaker wires for the radio have somehow become disconnected.
The only major problem I had was when one of the transaxles broke.
The roof and hood paint peeled as alot of this year model did.
The interior has held up fine except for the the ceiling covering which has come loose a hangs down over the front seats and along the sliding door

1992 Dodge Grand Caravan SE 3dr Minivan AWD
It worked for us; the tranny was rebuilt at 60,000 miles and it now has 125,000 miles. The tranny leaked always and you had to watch it, my brothers does the same thing. I don't think Dodge has fixed the problem yet. However it always started and always got us were we wanted to go. The AWD is awesome for snow. Knowing what I know now, I would still buy another Dodge Caravan but I probally won't. For the money I think the Chevy Astro is a better buy.

1992 Dodge Grand Caravan SE 3dr Minivan
I bought this car for $2000 when it
was 11 years old. I needed a vehicle
to transport 7 people and this caught
my eye at a local dealer. I should
have done an extensive check on this
one first. Within 6 months I put $400
seals and the still needed to replace
the radiator,thermostat,tires and the
paint is
peeling off in chunks. I have had it
just stop running for no reason at
least twice. The A/C quit on the day I
bought it. The fan stopped running
after replacing radiator. I've had the
reserve on radiator actually boil. The
only thing that has saved me is the
warning alarm that van is overheating.

1992 Dodge Grand Caravan SE 3dr Minivan
Bought in '93 w/42,500 miles; now
187,600 miles (3/25/04). Goes through
front brake pads/rotors quite
frequently; usual trans. failure at
132,000 mi. and again at 148,500 mi.
(this time covered under warranty).
Both drive axles replaced at 152,000
and again at 166,000; right hub
assembly replaced at 176,000. Other
items that failed were the water pump,
fuel pump and A/C unit. The 3.3L motor
has been outstanding; doesn't burn oil;
doesn't leak oil. Engine runs like it
did the day we bought the van. We
think we have gotten our money's worth
from it in service and relative comfort.

1992 Dodge Grand Caravan SE 3dr Minivan
I bought the car when it was a year old
with 43000 miles. The vehicle has been
excellent for getting the kids (who are
now grown) to and from all of their
events and for hauling. When they when
to college this car could not be beat
for room. It has also been great for
getting lumber. You can get a sheet of
plywood in the vehicle lay it down flat
and still close the doors. We now have
200000 miles and it is showing its
age. We replaced the transmission at
134000 miles and the oil pressure is
beginning to be poor. I would like to
keep it for two more years because it
is great for hauling.

1992 Dodge Grand Caravan LE 3dr Minivan
I bought my mini-bus with a 3.3 6L.
with 93000 miles on it just over 3 yrs
ago for only $5000. I now have 214000
on it. It uses oil, which a valve
gasket job would fix. Replaced the
tranny twice, but my choice of
mechanics the 1st time was largely to
blame for the 2nd time. Up until 200000
miles my van ran excellent. About that
time the water pump,& fuel pump went.
who could blame it? It has been used as
a truck for hauling lumber, a camper on
trips, a taxi etc.. I abuse the vehicle
but it just keeps running. I will keep
it til it dies. Then I will go buy
another! I most definately got my
money's worth out of this one.

1992 Dodge Grand Caravan SE 3dr Minivan
This van had been a pretty good car.
It had a new transmission put in at
about 16000 miles, not unexpected for a
Chrysler van. Needed new Catalytic
converter and starter recently. Rides
very nice and 3.3L has plenty of
power. Inside is quite roomy. I get
22 mpg almost all highway. Paint is
pretty bad, but rust isn't a major
problem. This car still runs great at
218000 miles.

1992 Dodge Grand Caravan 3dr Minivan
I originally bought the caravan as
the "kid mobile," including the built
in child seats. However, I have put
more money into this vehicle in repairs
over the years than I care to admit. I
wish someone had told me it was the end
of a string of years of bad
transmissions. Thankfully we had
purchased the extended warranty as the
first transmission replacement occurred
during that time. The second one was
just after the warranty expired, but we
were able to negotiate a 50/50 split
with the dealership on the repair.
