Ok, so this is the final Twitter list I promised you guys. I’ve already shared my Marketing & Media list, as well as one for Business, Strategy, Innovation, Creativity & Leadership. Now onto Contemporary Culture.
These are accounts that I use to stay abreast of developments in the arts (music, film, visual art, design, architecture), sociology, politics, economics, etc. I’m trying to pull from a lot of sources for a diverse view of what’s happening in the world. I’m also looking for the inspiration that can strike just because I’m getting a window into how smart people think, how they approach problems, or how they’re constructing their lives. It all matters when you’re trying to help people or companies navigate this crazy landscape.
