We thought it would be a fun summer activity to pull together a list of the top innovation personalities and information sharers on twitter. We know we follow a lot of great innovation people on twitter (including a lot of the great Innovation Excellence authors) and we are curious to see who you follow or who you think people should investigate to learn more about. We’ll then take your nominations and our favorites and compile them into a list to share back with you after Labor Day.
In case you missed it, here were the Top 50 Innovation Twitter Sharers of 2014
DEADLINE for nominations will be August 30, 2013 at midnight GMT and you can do it two ways:
- Leave a comment on this article
- Send a tweet to @innovate
Of course we invite you to follow Innovation Excellence on Twitter where we tweet as @ixchat
And to encourage your favorite tweeters (or yourself) to contribute articles to the world’s most popular innovation web site – Innovation Excellence – or to advertise on the site or in our emails (at low rates). 🙂
Editor’s Note: Innovation Excellence is open to contributions from any and all innovation professionals out there (practitioners, professors, researchers, consultants, authors, etc.) who have a valuable innovation insight to share with everyone for the greater good. If you’d like to contribute, create an account in the community and then log in to the WordPress with the same username/password combination.

There are lots of accounts I follow on the 2014 list.
It would be good to see more British nominations as we have some fantastic innovators who share outstanding content.
My favourite twitter accounter from a brilliant UK innovator is @paulbromford (Paul Taylor)
@BMGI_Innovation
I nominate Dominic Venturo from US Bank @innov8tr
We need more women innovators on this list, and more diversity, period. First, I must nominate our Women Who Innovate Co-Founders, including me:
@WomenInnovate (LeAnna Carey)
@Renee_Hopkins (Renee Hopkins)
@WandaMcClure (Wanda McClure)
@CreativeSage and @CathrynHrudicka (Cathryn Hrudicka — my two accts., business and arts-focused respectively. If only one, then @CreativeSage)
Also:
@TeresaAmabile (Teresa Amabile)
@WorkingKnowledg (Andrea Meyer)
@dscofield (Debra Mills Scofield)
@RosabethKanter (Rosabeth Moss Kanter)
@tseelig (Tina Seelig)
@calestous (Calestous Juma)
@ReachScale (David Wilcox)
@ShaunCoffey (Shaun Coffey)
I’ll come back if I think of more people. Everyone from the past few years should still be on the list, too. Therefore, I’m not listing them all here, but just a few people who should definitely stay on it, plus some more women, and I’d like to see more women and men who are not Caucasian and who are from the Southern Hemisphere and Asia.
Could we expand the list to 75 or 100? I would love to add more people in specific areas of innovation, i.e., health care, social innovation, civic & gov innovation, educational innovation, etc.
Of course, everyone from the Innovation Excellence staff should remain on it! 🙂
In my previous comment, please correct spelling — @dscofield should be Deb Mills-Scofield. Thanks!
Two more women in innovation:
@4byyoung (Brenda Young)
