I follow some beat writers for sports teams I dig, and a couple of UFC fighters that are pretty funny. @CobraCOmmander is a pretty funny follow, Scott Van Pelt from ESPN is good @notthefakeSVP, and from the Tri world, I follow @bengreenfield as I used his program for my last IM. He posts some interesting research articles as times, but also does a lot of promo stuff for his website and business. Rarely tweet anything myself, usually just retweet some stuff for the couple of guys that I'm friends with that follow me.

I have never tweeted nor been tweeted at.  I was thinking about it this morning, I don't even know how it works.  Do you get an email saying "Lance Armstrong tweeted that he has one ball"?  Have to log in to some site to see them?

@Cervelo

@LanceArmstrong

@usatriathlon

@wineschool (just shows I have other interests!)

and a few friends. I just started using Twitter. It's very useful for following events, like the Olympic trials last weekend. I also use it for business pretty heavily through Linked-In.

We are in the process of redesigning our company website and are going to incorporate a Twitter feed as I am terrible about updating the company news if I have to go in and change web pages.

Its not really worth it if you have to log in to a comp to do it. If you have it on a phone or other mobile device that its a nice time filler if you have to wait somewhere or something. Just scroll through to get some updates on stuff.

I only look at twitter on my iPhone when I'm bored, unless I'm following the stream from an active event. It was great for the Olympic marathon trials.

@BrianRunsPhilly but I don't tweet much unless it's work related. Not sure how many of you care about pharmaceutical research.

I have two Twitter accounts, both geared towards my profession. I don't talk about "personal" stuff on twitter (and certainly not the one linked to my blog) and I don't talk about professional stuff on Facebook. Twitter has become a great way for me to network with people in my profession and stay on top of things, most of our job postings come through Twitter now.

Twitter is black and white.  Either you love it and get it or you hate it and don't understand the big deal (or some combination of those two).  I use it for breaking news and to communicate with a certain group of people that I would normally not communicate with.

@seandotson (warning: a lot of my tweets are engineering and CAD related, with some triathlon and anti-government ranting thrown in for good measure)

Start following a few people and then you'll see who they follow and it branches from there.

I tweet when I am going on the air - I used to put my workouts up but stopped.  Occasional other tweets.

I follow folks from here, cyclists, triathletes....

Sometimes I feel bad reading some of the things Evil Cycling posts, but sometimes they are funny as all get out.  Funny enough for me to buy a jersey from them that says "Hail Satan" and "F Off" on the back.  I only wear it on Sundays though.

Same thing, although I can bet she gets less benefit from my tweets than I from hers!!

 

ETA: Andria Davis @YogaVentures also gets a vote in the who to follow poll.
