Aw shucks - again.
@stephenfry is a grand Twitter connection.
Merlin Mann aka @hotdogsladies is a vital source of insight & humour.
@warrenellis is superb if you’re into the graphic novel scene at all.
Must - have - daily - dose of @sockington.
@mileskahn is the producer of the Daily Show and @hodgman is, of course, John Hodgman.
@StephenHarper doesn’t do his own blog - he has some social-secretary, office intern, lackey plop out the occasional turd of info as to his royal wideness is up to these days. It’s better to just do a Twitter Search for “@StephenHarper” to see what everyone else is saying to him.
Cheers.
P.S. I have more and will share but it’s time to put dinner on the table.
Ooh, I want to be followed! My Twitter name is blogetteistaken. I think it’s a pretty self-explanatory one.
Okay, I’ve bitten. I suppose it’s been around long enough I won’t be pilloried by my friends as an “early adopter”.
Wait, all my friends already ARE early adopters. Crap, I’m behind the curve!
mjreid is my twitter. Tweets to come.
Dave Foley is @dinder
