Twitter Accounts You Should Be Following

Social media isn't exclusive to friends and family, and it certainly has uses beyond sharing the latest Grumpy Cat meme with your coworkers. Private, public and non-profit organizations alike have effectively used social media to connect with each other and the general public.

Here at SmartSimple, we've been following several important accounts on Twitter in many different markets, from grants and philanthropy to nonprofits and tech-related businesses. Each one has something different but valuable to offer, whether it be market-specific news, reviews, tips or articles.
