πŸ“£πŸš¨ The Gender Balance of Your Twitter Followers Might Surprise You

Have you seen how our friend Sree Sreenivasan (@sree) kicked off the new year on Twitter? He made a commitment to β€œ24 hours of only RTing [retweeting] women or content by/about women β€” and only new-following women.” That 24 hours turned into going on 8 days and has elevated the voices and opinions of over 175 women on Twitter. What #NewToMe accounts have you found that we should know about?
