I use Twitter, using @dougcornelius as my username, as a great way to keep in touch with friends, colleagues, interesting people and “weak ties.”

I send tweets on a potpourri of topics: compliance, fraud, securities, knowledge management, enterprise 2.0, social networking, and my paddling trips.

You can read more about me on the “About” page. To sum up my story, I am former lawyer at a big law firm, who worked in real estate, moved to knowledge management and now hold a job as Chief Compliance Officer at a real estate private equity firm based in Boston. You can see my posts on compliance and business ethics at Compliance Building.com.

Feel free to browse my list of tweets (They are public after all.)
