Acevo staff embrace the Twitterati

Finance | 14 Jul 2009

Stephen Bubb continues to reign supreme as the sector’s most prolific blogger, but his Acevo colleagues appear to be leading the charge in the comparatively new realm of Twitter.

While Bubb has not added to his six tweets (or messages, for the uninitiated) since March, his colleagues have taken enthusiastically to the medium, clearly inspired by an Acevo Twitter training session (pictured).

Deputy chief executive Peter Kyle has managed an impressive 355 tweets, this week contributing his thoughts on the Charity Commission’s initial public benefit assessments.

And while director of strategy Seb Elsworth has managed only 23 updates so far, he stated this week that he was “back from holiday and determined to actually use Twitter from now on”.

However, perhaps the most entertaining Twitter denizen is director of Acevo's international leadership programme and executive director of the Euclid network Filippo Addarii, who is not afraid to mix details of his personal life with those of his professional activities.

Here we present some of Addarii's more colourful tweets, with comments and spelling taken directly from Twitter...
