My Twitlist: Who I still follow on Twitter, and why  

Posted by: Scar in , ,

A few days ago, I had a clearout of the people I'm following on Twitter. I was left with 63 people, all of whom I follow for different reasons. I notice myself being followed and unfollowed on Twitter all the time; many people, I think, unfollow me because I don't just automatically follow them back. They have to be interesting. I have to log on to Twitter, see that they've posted something, and want to read it. Here are the people who made the final cut, and why they made it:


Friends ~ @amykpeanut, @twinklethistle, @ronniejoice, @sscrltt, @jordanjoice, @nickdaniels, @melanietong, @MarkBorkowski ~ all people I know from school/college/university/somewhere; all friends of mine, all fantastic people.

Colleagues ~ @unrulymedia, @UniofOxford, @johng, @scottbutton, @HollyClarke, @jaydeedoubleu, @VideoChart, @UnrulyLindsey, @timpickles, @MatthewPCooke, @geebit, @Geeklikeme, @UKYP, @renju87 ~ all people/companies I work or have worked for or with.

Famous People ~ @RealBillBailey, @dresdendolls, @QueenRania, @SarahBrown10, @amandapalmer, @jasonwebley, @neilhimself ~ all followed for different reasons: some musicians, one comedian, one author, two politicians; all tweet interestingly, informatively, and most importantly of all, personally.

Academia ~ @researchdigest, @MarcusduSautoy, @timeshighered, @UniofOxford, @brightonbooks, @books, @MindGrad, @newscientist, @JaneannDill, @Sucedo ~ all interesting people or companies who write about books, science, education, philosophy or academia in general.

News & Politics ~ @bbcquestiontime, @guardian ~ the only two I follow (except from Sarah Brown), because I get most of my 'news & politics' from elsewhere, but BBCQT and The Guardian tend to tweet interesting nuggets of information.

Websites I like ~ @bydls, @womenintech, @YourCatMagazine, @Reporterssource, @productbody, @LivingSocial, @facebooknotes ~ sites I might forget to visit regularly if I didn't read their tweets.

Miscellaneous people ~ @deanhunt, @melissa_marr, @notfrmroundhere, @bastardgirl, @caffeinatedkate, @ramit, @bencasnocha, @sherryfm, @religioustattoo ~ people I've met online, people whose profiles I've decided to follow, people recommended by other people, people who've followed me, etc. Interestingly, @sherryfm is the only one of her kind I'm still following - and this is because she's good at what she does, she's nice about her students, and she tweets back when I tweet at her.

Worthy causes ~ @theNSPCC ~ because it really is very important.

Just plain fun ~ @big_ben_clock, @dullestblog, @newsbiscuit, @phdcomics, @polljack, @TheOnion ~ people/websites I follow purely because their tweets make me smile/laugh/giggle.

So, any suggestions for similar fantastic people I should be following?

Alan the Guitar Hero

What a fantastic video. If this song isn't being sung in schools all over the country by the end of the month, I'll be very surprised. Come on, we've all got a tiny Alan living inside us, right?
