You should also subscribe to their blogs, find them on FriendFeed, del.icio.us, Facebook etc. Maybe even Google their names once in a while too.<BR/><BR/>You hired these guys because they know their stuff and you trust their judgement. When they are exploring ideas with their network, you can be part of that too.<BR/><BR/>Following them on Twitter is not checking up on them, it's joining them in the global discussion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
