Twitter Top Ten – 2-8-15
We rooted through the Twitterverse again this week and emerged with some excellent nuggets. In fact, the only hard part of the exercise was – as usual – narrowing the list to 10.
We covered all the bases – financial inclusion, health care and social enterprise – with Tweets ranging from smartphone gadgets to motivational bon mots to fat/sugar intake. Along the way, we came up with a keeper of a quote about mobile wallets and microwaves. (In fact, it’s in the early running for quote of the year.)
But remember, we need your help getting our list together each week. Send us your best and worst, and we’ll take it from there: Tweet general social enterprise topics to@NextBillion or NB managing editor @ScotterAnderson, global health topics to @NextBillionHC, and financial inclusion topics to@NextBillionFI.
