Every Friday we like to recommend a few people that we’re following on Twitter as we go about telling the stories that matter when it comes to technology’s impact on the way business is done.
This week we got a chance to talk to some executives that are responsible for partnerships and product development at their businesses. We thought they were fascinating to speak with and lucky for you, they all keep active Twitter accounts. If you’re responsible for partnerships or product yourself, these folks are a must-follow.
been using the Muse brain sensing headband..by far the most addictive wearable, and app, ever. Like crack but much better for you.

Hootsuite has been on a hot streak of announcing acquisitions, partnerships, and support for all sorts of third-party plugins in recent months. Perhaps worthy of much of the credit for that stream of news-making announcements is Greg Gunn, the vice-president of business development at the Vancouver-based social media dashboard firm. Gunn has also written about, and frequently been featured in industry conferences and media as an expert on using Facebook for communicating with a consumer audience. Follow him on Twitter to keep up to date on what Hootsuite is doing, and for the odd beard grooming tip.

John Kim is the chief product officer at Expedia, and was busy this past week introducing the travel data platform’s new website and tablet app publicly. We spoke with Kim in a Hangouts on Air session, comparing smart watches and hearing about how Expedia’s tracking of customer behaviour led to the recent product updates it announced.
