Along the way of tweeting 100K tweets I met some very awesome social peeps. They are the peeps that keep me tweeting day after day. I was surprised to see how close I was to tweeting 100K and when I hit that big number I realized it was the great social peeps I met along the way that inspired me.

Great Brand Peeps
Some brands know how to respond fast to your questions and others still don’t get it. I’d like to share those that do GET Twitter and the importance of responding quickly on this network.
Southwest Airlines – This brand interacted with me last time I flew and was stuck in Arizona due to an air terminal issue in Chicago. I got my answers via Twitter much quicker than anyone could answer a phone there and was able to get another flight a few days later. I really appreciated their quick response on the Twitter network.
Cox Communications – Cox is another company that responds quickly on Twitter. When I had an issue with service they do were faster to reach via Twitter than the telephone. The got answers to me via direct messages after the first tweet and were able to solve an issue that way rather than the phone.
Verizon – Verizon also was fast to respond when I had issues with my mobile phone a while back. They quickly got me in touch with the right people to fix an issue. They responded at a super speed. They realize they need to be where others are like on Twitter.
Hostgator – This is another company that responds on Twitter much quicker than via telephone. I’ve only had a few issues over the years with them as my hosting company and their 24/7 tech service is just awesome. If I cannot reach some via phone or chat I get info from them via Twitter. They either announce a problem or will respond quickly to any questions I may have tweeted them.

Social Media Mavens That Tweet Back
You know how some people get so big they think they don’t need to respond back anymore? Well these folks DON’T. They engage with everyone and don’t consider themselves better than anyone else. Just because they have over 100K followers doesn’t mean they don’t respond.
