CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, is a fairly important and influential man in the scope of the tech world, yeah? He’s in charge of one of the wealthiest and most successful companies in the world, and an advocate of change towards workplace (and life-place) equality for all.

 

So who does he think of as important? Who does he look to? Social media will help us!

 

Cook currently has 1.14 million followers on Twitter (his preferred public social media forum) however he only follows 37 people. It’s said that who you follow on Twitter (especially when it’s such a small select group) is pretty telling, so let’s have a look, Mr Cook:

 

1 – Human Rights campaign – Civil rights organization working towards LGBT equality.

 

2 – The Official Twitter account of the United Nations Human Rights office.
