Top 20 People I Follow on Twitter

follow
I follow a lot of people on twitter, not as much as some and not as little as others; at the writing of this post the number stands at 352. But that is ok because I have just as many followers: 349.

Yet it is not that easy to follow the updates of that many people (yeah and how does someone realistically follow 15000 tweeps, huh?).

Anyway of all the people I follow here are the ones I currently find most interesting (not in any order):

[just a note: I initially intended this to be a list of 10, then it evolved to 20, to be honest I could have added more (so many people are interesting), but I had to stop at some point]                                                                                                                                                                                            

  1. @NASA: News from NASA (especially related to space flights). How much more interesting than that? Ok maybe not for everyone, but definitely for most of the guys.
  2. @beaconhillnw: because he is the commenting ninja and has cool things to say
  3. @appleinsider: The apple rumour mill and up to date news relating to Apple – and I am like an Apple freak.
  4. @_South_Africa_: ummm, because I am a South African? ;-)
  5. @CapeTown: As I am from SA, I am from CT. A very Cool place, and this tweep has cool tweets about it
  6. @MyNews24: all the news from South Africa and abroad, and quite nice and casual.
  7. @neilhimself : Very cool auther Neil Gaiman who interacts a lot on twitter.
  8. @Jon_Favreau : Iron Man 2 director and he twitters – very awesome
  9. @problogger : Darren Rowse has great blogging and social media tips.
  10. @MCHammer: Interacts a lot and is very involved, pretty cool for such a high profile person.
  11. @tonyhawk: Yes the Tony Hawk is on twitter – but you probably already know that. Tweets a lot about, a father and very down to earth.
  12. @wordpress : because I use wordpress and wordpress rocks.
  13. @tonysteward: Tony Steward is the Online Community Pastor at LifeChurch.tv. That my friends is where it’s happening.
  14. @JoshDaws Christian Film Director – just what I want to be :-)
  15. @worshipVJ: Stephen Proctor; Film producer, vj artist and involved in the community. Need I say more.
  16. @celluloidhope: David Condolora. Filmmaker with hope and has done cool videos
  17. @human3rror : John Saddington Also has the Twitter profile . Blogs human3rror and churchcrunch - check them out and you will know why I follow him.
  18. @5tu: Stu Maschwitz of prolost. Filmmaker and visual effects with great insight
  19. @loswhit : Carlos Whittaker of Ragamuffinsoul. Keeps it real and honest. Completely for the Lord.
  20. @rontuffin:Ron Tuffin, my fellow social media instigator at church and author of justplainron.

      Awesome man.
      I know that I follow a lot of people, but I follow strategically.
      Of course there are a few exceptions (but that proves the rule right?)

    11. Kat Scholtz April 16, 2009 at 6:09 pm #

      Nice list. Interesting to see that your top 20 aren’t all individuals, and not just the usuals either.

      I have been a big fan of @JasonSnell – Editorial Director of Macworld and @Padmasree Warrior CTO at Cisco Systems.
