Twitter - Who's on it? (Page 2)

Rinny (@Mirindacarfrae) and Julie Dibens (@juliedibens) had some AWESOME Twitter smack talk leading up to Kona this last year. All in good fun - really hilarious to follow.

I follow a few celebrities and bloggers, but also a lot of LOCAL places as they'll post specials and such on Twitter. It's also one of the fastest sources to find out about breaking news - something will trend on Twitter well before it breaks on local or national news. Love that reporters are getting into the live tweet thing from verdict readings, press conferences, etc. 

@lisac957 here but I'm super sporadic

Oh yeah, forgot to put that I tweet for my company as well.
But we don't do a lot on purpose, just newsworthy items either from us, re-tweeted from our customers, big industry news, or employee volunteerism stuff. It's interesting to see how B2B businesses use it, compared to B2Cs... apples and oranges.
  

X2 on Chris Klewe - he is worth a follow.   LMAO when he called Falcons fans "a bunch of douche pickles". 

I also enjoy Matt Kassian (@kassassination) who plays in the MN Wild orgination. 

Here's one of Kassian's latest tweets..@kassassination: Just saw a homeless guy w/ a sign that said 'family abducted by ninjas need $ for karate lessons' I gave him some money.

Seriously.  I've been following him on twitter forever and think I retweet about 95% of what he posts.  Awesome stuff!

Macca is an interesting follow, he tweets a mix of training, endorsements, and family life.

Do you have one account or two? Met with our web developer on Thursday and we're incorporating a twitter feed to update company news, research meetings, etc. I have one account now but it's @brianrunsphilly and wouldn't look so professional if I send training/racing/corporate updates from the same account.

Personally Twitter is growing on me more and more. I like it better then Facebook now. Mostly because I like the people on Twitter more. Common interests and links to other things.

@Chris_Spanky

I follow cool people like

Steve, Lisa, Elaine...  

Some pros in triathlon, running etc. Along with some other Engineers and business people and business and leadership blogs. I tweet silly things because I can talk without having to apply a filter most of the time.

Yea he has some awesome tweets. There was an article on him where his mom thought he would cure cancer or do something great and he chose to be a punter and play warcraft.

I also follow @nikerunning and @brooksrunning for updates on products. Then a bunch of athletes and political people to keep up with the news.

@nhermes7

i just started using it, and admittedly, i am twitterilliterate

i just post some workout and such, follow a few people, get on it every couple of days, occasionally say something about my day or goings on, i am actually quite boring.

@55rudedog

I am the same way, I like to use twitter as my own personalized news source.  I follow my favorite athletes, businesses, sportscasters/reporters, teams, etc.  I don't use it to broadcast myself, so it's definitely a one way street for me.  

follow me and I'll follow you!

@phillipmetcalf

I keep mostly to local (DFW) radio, tv and pro athletes.  I also like following @JimGaffigan and @BeerAdvocate.

I'm @brettboy05

I tweet occasionally @pnekman

Our tri club is also on Twitter @TriRochester

Twitter is a nice diversion when FB gets boring.

This is how I use twitter mostly too...just wanted to add that if there is a story breaking, there is NO better place to hear the absolute latest...stuff hits twitter 90-120 minutes earlier than even the earliest major outlets...
