Because I’m too lazy to get my act together & take part in #followfriday on Twitter, here a suggested list of just a very few of the people I follow who you may care to follow too.
I was going to add the reasons I follow each person, but due to the aforementioned laziness and being generally exhausted by swineflu, I haven’t bothered. Suffice to say, they all either informed, insightful, funny, clever, epic visionaries, just bloody lovely, or all all of those things. Anyway, don’t take my word for it, give them a follow (or at least check their recent tweets)
Here they are in alphabetical order (which seems fairest. don’t want to get into rankings and all that malarky. and sorry to anyone who isn’t on the list – it’s just a representative sample, nothing personal):
- @abeeken
- @AlistairReid
- @alncl
- @benjibrum
- @bongbot (technically not a person, but makes me smile on the hour, every hour)
- @brumfailcamp (also not a person. a good idea though)
- @catnip
- @ChimeraX
- @ChrisUnitt
- @colalife (another non-person. but a campaign to help save lives in a really simple way)
- @corbysays
- @cosmicgirlie
- @cosmodaddy
- @danielatkinson
- @danosirra
- @danslee

Why thank you mr t and I hope you are now shot of swine flu x
You’re both very welcome!
