Tweeting for Charity

Tweeting for CharityI’ve written about my colleague, Max Brown, in the past. Max joined Rideau in 2009 and is the Principal of Leadership Initiatives for Rideau’s Recognition Management Institute. Max writes a blog for us and has been Tweeting since September 2009. Twitter is a perfect forum for Max, given how busy he is responding to the needs of our clients all over North America and the world. I’ve traveled with Max and when we’re sitting at an airport and there’s a lag in the conversation he pulls out his phone and sends a thoughtful Tweet.
Max recently found himself on a Huffington Post list recognizing 40 leading Tweeters who champion their favorite non-profit to their followers. “I was completely surprised in being selected,” Max told me, “but, of course, I will happily accept any and all publicity for my favorite charity, Love146, whose mission is to end child sex slavery and exploitation.”

He recently received a Klout influence rating of 72 and a Twitter Grade that lands him in the top 10,000 of over 10 million Tweeters!
Max recently posted a graphic to his blog indicating Twitter’s incredible growth. Amazingly, the number of tweets per day grew 252% from 2010 to 2011 to over 92 million. Just more evidence of how social media is changing the way we communicate. I’m certainly glad that, with Max’s help, Rideau is part of this revolution.
