According to this interesting article from CNN Money, the search juggernaut Google ranks number one with over 3 million followers on Twitter. That’s an astounding number for the social media champ, but a number that will only continue to grow as mobile technology continues to advance. If you thought the second place company would be another tech giant, you would be wrong. Whole Foods earned the second spot by creating over 300 Twitter accounts and 250 local store Facebook accounts to connect with their customers. Not sure when a cantaloupe is ripe? Just send a tweet to your local grocer. Connecting with customers is that easy with social media.

1. Google - 3,012,238
