Most Followed Dividend-Paying Companies on Twitter

For most bellwether companies, reputation is everything – a company’s brand recognition has a major impact on how its products and services are perceived in the eyes of consumers, which at the end of the day translates into revenues.

While this has long been the case, in today’s economy especially, the emergence and growing adoption of social media has taken the concept of branding to a whole new level. A company’s online presence can incite everything from awareness to controversy, and because of this, it’s no wonder that many of the biggest firms on Wall Street are paying close attention to their reputation on the web.
