10 People I Follow On Twitter and Why I Think You Should Follow Them Too

I hope that Brian Yerkes will forgive my plagiarizing of his title from his blog post “5 People I Follow On Twitter and Why“. I have been writing these weekly recommendations for a few weeks now and when I saw his title I thought it was a perfect way to encourage people to read the contents of the post, like a good title should. So hats off to you, Brian, for not only having a cool first name but also a smart blog post title. Forgive me if I have offended in any way.

If you are here wondering why a blog post instead of a contribution to the massive onslaught of lists of names flooding the Twitter stream each Friday, please read my previous weekly Friday posts’ explanations (found in the Related Posts section at the end of this post). If you feel I have left you out and you should be in this list, please forgive me and write me a nice tweet or comment to let me know. Each week I am trying to include people that I have interacted with or benefited from in some way or another, so that you too may discover the value I have found in these wonderful people. There are SO MANY great people on Twitter, so I hope someday to include everyone! Please be sure to check my previous recommendations too, because those are STILL great people I highly recommend for you to follow as well. And if you feel a need to recommend me to your followers, please use Mr. Tweet. It’s my favorite tool for the recommendation process that has the potential to reach thousands of people with REAL recommendations.

So now, here are this week’s ten that I recommend you follow on Twitter. Give them a try. You won’t be sorry!
