FORTUNE 100 Best Companies To Work For And Their Twitter Status

100_best_fortuneI was very disappointed with this list. I would have thought that more of these companies would have by now had a Twitter presence, but I was sadly mistaken.

Only 25 of the 100 companies had a Twitter status. I was most impressed with Zappos (@zappos) with over 90K+ followers and I was least impressed with Stew Leonard’s @stewleonards at only having 5 followers. Stew Leonard’s should really take a look at what Whole Foods (@wholefoods) is doing on Twitter.

Three companies that I feel are really missing the boat on not being on Twitter are eBay, Fedex and T-mobile. All of these companies should follow Comcast (@comcastcares) for its great customer service via Twitter.

Of all the 100 companies listed I would definitely consider working for Zappos. Not only have they taken their Twitter status to the next level with http://twitter.zappos.com/ but they really get what most of us are looking for in a laid back and fun working environment.

Check out the video Fortune created about Zappos
http://money.cnn.com/video/ft/#/video/fortune/2009/01/21/fortune.bctwf.zappos.fortune

Please let me know if you find anymore of these companies on Twitter. Just shoot me a reply or DM @twarketing

All the best

JB

  • Hi there! I like your idea of tying Twitter in with FORTUNE's list. I'm a big fan of Zappos too - they've gotten so many great team members to embrace Twitter!

    We feel very lucky to be included in their list. However, Quicken Loans is not "Quicken." It's a common misconception that we're the same company, but we're not at all. We just share naming rights! So, you can find Quicken Loans (#29) at twitter.com/quickenloans. Quicken has a great Twitter account too, but we're very proud of our own and our place on the list.

    I'll find you on Twitter too, but thought I should comment as well. Great idea/post! Feel free to @ me with any questions. :-) Thanks!

    Hey Kelly,

    Thanks so much for the information on the difference between Quicken and Quicken Loans.
    I have made the correction and look forward to following you on Twitter.

    All the best

  • I agree. Zappos and Comcast cares really are shinning examples of how to use Twitter to support your brand and build relationships.

    Wegmans Food Market does have a Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/Wegmans. They've got close to a 1,000 followers, but only appear to retweet positive things said about them by others on Twitter. They too could learn a lot from Whole Foods.
  • twarketing
    Hey Ecarnevale,

    Thanks for the addition of Wegmans (@wegmans) on Twitter. And I agree Whole Foods is what all grocery stores and super markets should live up to when promoting their brand.

    All the best

    JB
  • Hello from SRA International! The information presented here certainly provides an interesting perspective. We just wanted to share with you that SRA is indeed on Twitter (http://twitter.com/SRAIntl) and while we're still new at Twittering, we hope you'll follow SRA to learn more about us. Thanks!
  • twarketing
    Hello SRA,

    Welcome to Twitter. Looking forward to reading and sharing your Tweets.
    We have updated our list to reflect your new Twitter account (@SRAIntl)
    Congratulations again for making this years list of Fortune 100 Best Companies to work for.

    All the best and Happy Twarketing..;-)
