So we are off to a great start with looking at people I follow on twitter. Honestly there was some backlash from some people about my first choice of 5. Namely that I didnt include some people that were the closest to me. Hopefully this 5er will help solv any trouble I got myself into.

Vol 2.

Jen Matthews - http://twitter.com/jenmatthews

Yep thats my dear wife, I left her out of the first list, honestly not thinking anybody would care. apparently she did. Shucks. SO yeah she tweets about her love of all things Edward Cullen, people who fart on the train and an assortment of other stuff.. dance related as well as rantings about work. Doesnt tweet that much, but quality I suppose over quantity. I suppose you could follow her if you are friends with her. Tho I dont think most of the people she knows are on twitter, BB messenger maybe but twitter … no… Love ya.

Cheryl McKenzie - http://twitter.com/cherylmckenzie

I work with Cheryl, she takes the same trains I complain about all the time. I didnt even know she was on twitter and tweets quite a bit. She likes to make cupcakes and not bring them to work to share. She has also invented her own language and its documentation can be found on http://www.cherylese.com want to learn a new language or stuff about cupcakes and the weather then follow her up.

Wil Wheaton - http://twitter.com/wilw

Yes that Wil Wheaton. Wesley Crusher himself is on the internest and on twitter. If you liked TNG then you should follow him. Do you enjoy reading stories about being a nerd? Follow him. Enjoy play by play commentary about Kings games? Follow him. Nuff said. Engage!

Chris Hardwik - http://twitter.com/nerdist

Chris Hardwick is a musician, television host, stand up comic, and actor. I know him from G4’s Attack of the Show. Where he co-hosts from time to time. One of the funniest people I watch on TV which isnt saying much since I rarely watch something with hosts. He was also the host of PBS’s Wired Science which was an awesome show. Tweets about travelling and general nerdyness. Will converse with Wil Wheaton from time to time about TNG and hockey etc… Generally a fun follow if your up for it and especially if you watch AOTS.

Notorious BIG - http://twitter.com/NotoriousBIG

Its biggie speaking to you. Hes alive you know it. Hilarious. One of the premiere tweeters that makes me chuckle constantly. Did you love Juicy in high school. Did you want a shiny ass suit? Did you think MA$E was just crazy. Follow him up.

Well thats it. pretty straight forward. As of this I’m currently following 130 tweeters. Not bad way more that I thought I would. More next week!

So i’ve been meening to do this type of post for a while and thought that I would do it today or rather I would start it today. I’m going to go through my list of who I follow and write a bit on why I follow them, things I’ve learned etc. I’ll link back to their profile so you can check them out if they sound interesting to you. I’ll also rate their tweeting style on a personal level, that relates to me, you might find this interesting or not.

Lets get the Show on the road

Vol - 1.

micah barrett - http://twitter.com/micahmicah

Micah is a friend of mine. Brilliant designer and avid seahawks fan, which can be proven by his often tweets “fucking seahawks”. Sometimes I wish he tweeted more so I knew what was going on in Seattle, but maybe it just rains all the time? I value his tweets and his random thoughts, since hes a friend its good to know hes still alive when he does tweet.

veronica belmont - http://twitter.com/Veronica

Veronica is a co host of the revision3 show tekzilla. Honestly bonus points in my book for having a show with “zilla” in it. Smart and whitty she tweets about gadgets (which I like) and other technology things she covers (again I like that) also inserts ramblings about cats (which are funny even tho I’m allergic) and links and updates about the various things shes involved in like tekzilla and posting on her blog. A good follow if your into tech and especially if you enjoy tekzilla.

cobra commander - http://twitter.com/CobraCommander

Honestly who doesnt love cobra commander. Get insight on how to run your own evil organization. Witness the glory and the luster of having access to weapons that are far superior to that of your enemies. One of the funniest and therefore awesomest twitter accounts to follow and while the updates arent often, this is a good case of quality over quantity. If you are a fan of GI JOE then folow em up.

popeyes chicken - http://twitter.com/popeyeschicken

I have a warm spot in my heart for fried chicken, especially if its popeyes. I found out about this twitter account after twittering about enjoying some popeyes for lunch. Less that 3 hours later I had a personal message from popeyes and they had a follower instantly. The way that popeyes chicken is handling their social media responsibilities is in my book almost without fault. Tweets on brand and just generally great content for its followers, many companies could learn from the likes of these guys. If you enjoy bonafied chicken then follow.

al gore - http://twitter.com/algore

Yes this is the “REAL” al gore. At first his twiter account was squatted by and imposter and now the real al gore tweets semi weekly about the environment and things hes doing. Al started twittering shortly after his current interview with digg’s kevin rose. His non so often tweets are a nice break for me from the randomness that comes through my tweet stream. If you enjoy the outdoors and want to know whats going on with al specifically then a follow might be a good idea.

ok so thats it, a quick run down of 5 people I’m following on twitter. Another 5 shortly.
