Apple CEO Tim Cook has only been on Twitter (@tim_cook) since this summer. He follows exactly 11 people.

September 20th, 2013, 4pm

It was 22.2°C. The breeze was gentle.

It’s an interesting mix: Steve Jobs’ widow; Jimmy Fallon; Thomas Friedman of NYT; Anderson Cooper of CNN; Duke Basketball; a college newspaper (Auburn); Kings of Leon; Kerry Kennedy, who heads the RFK Center for Justice & Human Rights (which he also follows); and two of his direct reports.

He has 52,338 followers (that’s a 4,758-1 ratio).

As of just now, he had tweeted exactly once.


Cassie said thanks.
