Twitter has taken the social networking platform by storm, with over 4 million United States visitors in the month of February alone. Major media outlets like CNN, ABC, ESPN, and MSNBC are just a few organizations that just can't get enough of twitter.

With more and more business leaders and executives popping up on Twitter every day, it's a headache to track them all down. Today Federated Media and Microsoft launched a service dubbed ExecTweets to help Twitterers find and engage in conversation with business executives.

ExecTweets is a platform that aggregates the tweets of top business executives and empowers the community to surface the most insightful, business-related tweets. Twitterers can vote for the most interesting tweets, search through a tag cloud, and even recommend new executives to follow.

Mashable is reporting that there is a iPhone version in the works that is expected to be available in mid-April. The list of executives featured on ExecTweets can be found here. Just in case you don't find any of these executives interesting, most of us here at Neowin.net have Twitter accounts:

Tom Warren
Michael Stanclift
Jonathan Steele
Sam Alderwick
Sam Symons
Andrew Gallacher
Christopher Vendemio
Mitchell LeBlanc

It's handier than you give it credit for. It's great for keeping up with news and live events.
