Last year, I was honored to be included by Cheryl Burgess (@ckburgess) and Tom Pick (@TomPick) on their 2011 #Nifty50 awards, which identified 50 men and 50 women as positive examples of active engagement in social media, specifically on Twitter.

This year, they’ve narrowed the criteria to focus on marketing and business leaders who are working in the technology industry, at companies of any size.

Last week, Tom announced the 2012 #Nifty50 Women (including my wife @LizBrenner). Well,  I am also honored, once again, to be recognized for “outstanding work promoting social business practices” and as one of many “thought leaders” in the tech world.

Please review the list and identify the leaders you admire, or already know, or those you would like to get to know better…
