#Sunday7 – Week 2

Sunday7

Last week I started my special recommendations, #Sunday7.

I decided that, although I love #followfriday, it has one huge problem, information overload, as my #followfriday page shows.  So I decided to start a special set of reccomendations on a Sunday and pick out seven special tweeps through the week for a shout out.

All week I’ve been checking my twitter stream and picking out one person each day to recommend, as well as one person (for Sunday) who sums up the whole week.  So, without further ado, here’s this week’s #Sunday7:

  1. Photographer, Cumbrian and woman living in interesting times, @PinkPebs #Sunday7
  2. Statistics, funnies and general banter your thing? @delmonfieth is your guy! #Sunday7
  3. He says what we wish we could! Vote for @AngryBritain #Sunday7
  4. She might not know the difference between Thursday and Friday but @nik_kee_dee definitely knows how to light up your twitterstream! #Sunday7
  5. A little ray of sunlight in a sometimes desolate day @Yorksville is a star too! #Sunday7
  6. If you want to follow a genuinely nice guy (with a lizard called Gibbs) @JaeKay ‘s your man! #Sunday7
  7. She’s challenged me to a #twibbon contest – it’s so on! @Karmadillo – just you wait! #Sunday7

#Sunday7 – A different way of recommending!

Sunday7

#FollowFriday can be a fantastic thing, it’s nice to be able to suggest that people who’re interested in what you have to say might be interested in others. This is how our twitter networks grow. But it can feel like information overload.

Well, I’ve decided that, on Friday, I’ll stick with my followfriday page but I’m going to have my #Sunday7, seven tweeps who’ve informed, entertained or educated in the week before. Or maybe they’ve just lightened my twitterstream and made me smile…

Seven days in the week, seven tweeps to be suggested, choose carefully!

So, here’s my first #Sunday7:

  1. @PembTeaCo – The nicest tea I’ve had is grown in Pembrokeshire, in Wales! By these guys. #Sunday7
  2. @Qikipedia – The QI elves drop a quite interesting tidbit into your twitterstream every day. #Sunday7
  3. @BullyingUK – Did you know that up to 4 suicidal pupils contact them every day?  Show your support! #Sunday7
  4. @9Swords – I’m always amazed by the stuff he finds, fun, educational and just generally random! #Sunday7
  5. @TechnologyGeek – Want the latest tech tweets but can’t be bothered following all the big names? TG does it for you! #Sunday7
  6. @SapphyNo1 – Saph is a friendly, welcoming and lovely tweep. If I had a sister, she’d be her! #Sunday7
  7. @FizzyDuck – twitter’s punniest rubber bath accessory, witty, friendly and generally gorgeous! #Sunday7
