I Tweet!

I’ve been experiencing a crippling case of Writer’s Block recently (and by ‘recently’, I mean the last three months), so I figured there was nothing to do, but to come clean. I’ve added my Twitter link to the sidebar, since I’ve (thankfully) retained the ability to string together posts < 140 characters. I'm also following some cool peeps on Twitter. These are people who elevate Twitter beyond the tedious and mind-numbing updates regarding breakfast cereals or grocery lists (Do I really need to know when you're doing your laundry?). Not these guys; they make the best use of the limited space and make Twitter (dare I say it?) fun. Perhaps you'll find them interesting?

giagia- Self-proclaimed “science-groupie”, married to Physicist Brian Cox, consultant on films like Danny Boyle’s Sunshine, and host of the television science series Horizon. Gia always posts fun updates regarding Brian’s latest projects, as well as science in general.

feliciaday- Felicia Day first came to my attention as Slayer-in-training Vi on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but she has since developed quite the online following through her self-produced web series, as well as her leading role on Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. She’s a fan favorite on Twitter, with her regular updates regarding books, gaming and technology.

BrianLynch- Brian, a writer and pop/geek-culture enthusiast, single-handedly makes the case for getting a Twitter account. His posts are quirky, original and hilarious.

StephenAtHome- Colbert, aka the God of my idolatry, posts regular updates regarding guests that have visited his show, as well as his unique views on the news headlines of the day.

Those are the people I follow; not many, as you can see. Mostly, I wonder how long this Twitter fad will last. When the mainstream media reports on a fad, you know that it’s on its way out, and Twitter recently was featured on shows like The Today Show. Will this post be dated within a few months? Probably, but for now (and especially in light of that Writer’s Block I mentioned), we’ll go with the flow. If you have someone whose tweets are worth following, post the link below!
