I recently read an article on http://accountingtoday.com about the best tax “Tweeters” and decided to re-post it. As a new user of social media, I take inspiration from the best aspects of all of these extremely bright accounting professionals. I logged into my Twitter and quickly followed these ten accounts so that I can learn from them or even retweet them at times. I’m realizing that there is a lot to learn on social media. People from the accounting industry share some great insights and it is fun to see what other people, who I probably will never meet in person, have to say on a regular basis.
