Ten Recommended SAP HCM people to follow on Twitter

Recently John Kleeman published a great article called Ten recommended SAP people to follow on Twitter regarding his thoughts on various SAP people who he got value from following on Twitter.  I am a big believer in the value that Twitter can bring SAP professionals and over the past year have written several articles including Five Ways Twitter will Help your SAP Career, How to find and follow SAP Content on Twitter, Value for SAP Customers to start using Twitter and Twitter and SAP – Whats in it for You.

John’s article got me thinking of people that I get value from following specific to SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) which is my core area of focus.  I want to use this article to thank them as well as let you know so that you could take advantage of their knowledge and expertise as well.
