I returned from Atlanta yesterday to learn that I’d been named to Len Kendall’s list of 30 Under 30 Tweeters as a mentor. It’s quite humbling to be in the company of many people I consider mentors to me, like Dave Fleet, and also to discover new and interesting folks to follow, like Duane Brown.
Len likens his list to the NCAA Top 25 coaches poll for microblogging, but unranked, and without the blatant and unabashed Tim Tebow adoration (okay, I added that last part). I like the way that Len created the list as a group of “mentors” instead of a ranking or competition based on follower numbers. I’ve found that often I learn more from people on Twitter with just a handful of followers versus a flock.
I’d encourage you to not only check out the list of mentors but also the nominees and judges listed on Len’s site. There are interesting people from a variety of backgrounds and industries and I’ve already discovered some new favorites.
Thanks to everyone who nominated me. Stay tuned to Len’s blog and the #30u30t hashtag on Twitter for future editions of the list.

The list seems very solid, indeed!
