OK, I seem to be really lucky – I’ve found a load of really great people on twitter. One of the conventions there is something called #followfriday and it’s a day which you suggest people you think your followers might be interested in. Now, I have a problem, as I said – I follow a load of people that I think should be recognised and followed so this means that I end up sending out loads of suggestions and take over other people’s tweetstream with loads of suggestions. So this is my solution – a page dedicated to my #followfriday suggestions!
12 June 2009 – Update
OK, there are just too many great tweeps out there, so I’ve had to create sub-pages (there was just too many of you to keep on one page!) so here are the links to the relevant pages (and a couple of people to give you a taster!)
If you aren’t mentioned on here yet – don’t worry I will be adding to this page regularly – give me a shout if you want to remind me as I am a bit ditzy!
- @billt - Bill Thompson, author of the bill blog and blogger for the BBC News website.
- @AngryBritain - Creator of #moanmonday and the fantastic AngryBritain.com blog. Make sure you avoid his PIT! And while you’re visiting him don’t forget his lovely daughter @clovermai – who I’m sure is going to keep him on his toes!
- @edwardclarke – Twitter’s very own Summer Pudding competition winner, arty type and author of the Clapham Omnibus blog.
Friends, family and other people I know
- @StewSimpson - Artist, Musician, Friend and much much more – He’s wonderful, fabulous and the greatest friend in the world – EVER!
- @AnthonyJH – He’s a cyclist, Newcastle United fan and too active for my liking. Oh, and an iPhone fan too, but we don’t hold that against him too much!
- @LouKnight77 – Mother, Horse Rider, Mancunian and all round good egg, she’s lovely and really trying to get to grips with twitter!
Twiends, Twits and Tweeple I know ;-P
- The Trinity – I can’t metion @tb78 without @casual_intruder & @howlertwit as they go together like dodgy dates & 80s Music!
- My three yummy mummies here on twitter almost always include @CraftyMaddie – Artist, Mother, Scrapbooker and lovely person, she’s always got the time of day for everyone – follow her and say hi! @SandyCalico – Sandy’s another fantastically talented tweep have a look at her myspace page to hear some of her music and @Anjeebaby – Another mother-tweeter who’s entertaining tweets put a smile on my face throughout the day!
- @SapphyNo1 – Sapphy is witty and just out to have a laugh, follower her and she’ll keep you entertained. She’s married to @BigAssBadger, who deserves a shout out too – these 2 show that love can flourish in 140 characters! They’ve also managed to convince Saph’s mum to join in the madness @Volcaniczz. Angie’s a belly dancing scientist with a great eye for the twitpics!
Deities, Celebrities and Stars-to-be
- @God – He’s the Deity with the links, pictures and RTs to make you think how great the world really is. He’s also got a great easy to RT short name!
- @TheFuckingQueen – I’m telling you, it fucking is her! And she’s great – just how a Monarch should be.
- @LagoonBand - Not as famous as they should be, yet!
- @Twitter – Keep in touch with the guys who make it all possible. Status/Blog updates etc…
- @AndroidGuysCom – My favourite source of Android based news, you can also get updates on their website AndroidGuys.com.
- @Mashable – Probably one of the most retweeted tech tweeps ever, interesting and well written posts in the blog Mashable.com (and I’m afraid I am swayed by Pete’s good looks!)
