Many thanks to all for the excellent recommendations – just spent an hour going through a lot of them, deciding who to put on my work twitter and who to put on my personal twitter. It’s a very complicated universe.
I did spend a few moments meditating (sic) on the fact that the Dalai Lama has a twitter account – :eek: – before deciding to add him to the work list.
If you’re a fan of Stephen Fry then you MUST follow Mrs. Stephen Fry!
From the people who brought us BPGlobalPR, now there’s: @WorldGlobalPR. They’re hitting health care hard today.
Several of the people I’m following have pointed out that Seth Green is now on Twitter (apparently someone else created an account for him and now he’s actually using it). Looks like he’s still getting the hang of it. IIRC, he’s gotten something like 30,000 additional followers in the past day.
One side note, if I may.
When looking up well known people on Twitter, look for “Verified Account” and a check mark graphic towards the top right corner of the person’s page. This indicates Twitter has confirmed the person is who they say they are.
Discographies: Sums up a band’s entire studio output in 140 characters or less. Funny shit.
I don’t have a twitter account but I like reading people’s twitterings. Or tweets. Whatever.
I “follow”
Also love Steve Martin, he’s the whole reason twitter was invented.
Anne Burrell (Food Network person - pretty funny) - also Food Network Humor
Denis Leary is nicely snarky
Rainn Wilson is good for a snark or weird thought
Brent Spiner is great - he gets into snarky twitter wars with his “followers”
Greg Doyle is good for sports snark; also sports pickle
(I’m sensing a theme here)
Adrianne Curry is great for half-crazy, half-naked stuff
Text from last night is usually very good
I also follow a bunch of people from SyFy shows (almost a circle-jerk) and the world of professional poker (Mike Matusow is, umm, interesting and Daniel Negreanu is good)
I follow a lot of poker players. I follow Daniel Negreanu, Phil Laak, and Michael “The Grinder” Misrachi.
Ironically, while they are the most prolific, the funniest is actually Erik Seidel.
