It seems like everyother post I’ve done lately is about twitter. Well, thats because the world is atwitter with twitter. New stations (CNN, FOX, Local News), televisions shows (ET) and others are bringing up twitter or commenting about their twitter posts. I’ve been on twitter more and more lately (SocialScope is one of my most used apps on the Blackberry) and I find its fun to read what others are doing daily. Most recently, I posted about WeFollow.com. Well, this post is a suggestion of 10 People that I’m currently following that you should follow as well. So here goes:
- Zappos CEO Tony If you haven’t ordered from Zappos (and why haven’t you?) you haven’t experienced the MOST AWESOME ONLINE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE EVER. From the service, to the items, Zappos is awesome and Zappos CEO Tony updates twitter regularly. One of my favorite twits of his was when he asked for ideas about helping the economy recover prior to a meeting at the Whitehouse. How cool?
- WilliamShatner Yes. The Denny Crane is on twitter. He mostly pimps his web show, but he also tweets with regularity. Plus, its Denny Crane.
- MattCutts is the head of the webspam team at google. For some really good insight and a little heads up on whats going on at the big G, Matt is a good person to follow.
- NewtGingrich One time Speaker of the House, Gingrich is a noted author, history teacher and conservative voice in today’s political landscape. He’s currently helping to push the FairTax and several other programs which would help the country get back to more conservative roots.
- PFTompkins Paul F. Tompkins is a comedian. At least, he claims to be one. He host’s the “Best Week Ever” Friday nights on VH1 and most of his tweets are between him and @hodgman but they’re still very entertaining.
- Mashable Anyone who has ever visited the Mashable site knows how valuable the information there can be. Well, now you can get it via twitter. Never miss a Mashable post again. EVER.
- RainnWilson Yes, Dwight is on Twitter. Perhaps one of the funniest people on Twitter (even more than Chris Walken) Rainn’s humor is out there.
- Politifact is the TruthMeter site setup by the St. pete Times and it does a pretty good job of checking political fact from fiction and (in rare form these days) is pretty unbiased.
- Wil Wheaton Whether or not you liked him on StarTrek TNG, or in Stand By Me, his tweets are pretty entertaining. Plus, he’s written a number of blog posts and books and has some pretty cool things to say. You also get instant geek points for being a follower (double on days he mentions D&D)
- Guy Kawasaki Founder of AllTop among other tech things, he’s on top of the news and always posts some pretty interesting reads. One of the first “famous” people I began following on Twitter, I’ve read plenty of new stories recommended by Guy.
So those are 10 twits I recommend, You can of course Follow Me for a look at my mundane life. If you have anyone on twitter you’d recommend, let me know, I’m always looking for more people to follow.
