Back in June Mosnar Communications announced the list for the Top 50 Luxury Twitters.   Our very own Mike McFadden (@McFads) was #20 on the list.   Mike has been using twitter for quite some time (in social media years), and he used it frequently this month to keep his friends and family up to date with the birth of their new daughter.

Twitter is the newest “cool kid” in the tech and media world and with that comes a lot of speculation.  The fact remains, it’s a great tool to connect and have conversations (although short ones) with others — whether it be customers, friends, clients, media or others.  TheSociety.com and VacationHomesForCharity.org both have active twitter accounts (@thesociety and @vh4c) and use them to keep people up to date with new vacation rentals, upcoming charity events and more.
