Over at ÜBERCEO, a blog that discusses everything about CEOs, they have an interesting article about the Fortune 100 company CEOs and their lack of social media exposure.
They looked at Fortune’s 2009 list of the top 100 companies and tried to find out if their CEOs are on any of the major social networks, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Wikipedia, or had a blog. The results were not very impressive and led them to label those elite 100 “Social Media Slackers.” Their results are listed below:
- Only two CEOs have Twitter accounts.
- 13 CEOs have LinkedIn profiles, and of those only three have more than 10 connections.
- 81% of CEOs don’t have a personal Facebook page.
- Three quarters of the CEOs have some kind of Wikipedia entry, but nearly a third of those have limited or outdated information.
- Not one Fortune 100 CEO has a blog.
They put their results into a presentation, which is embedded below.
