Who We Follow
I was inspired yesterday by a tweet from @davenavarro. Dave said something to the effect of “Welcome new followers. You should also consider following these people:” and he listed some folks we all know and love.
So, Yesterday, I asked my followers this question: If you could only follow three people on Twitter, who would they be. The answers I got surprised me in some ways, and in other ways they almost perfectly reflected the versatility and diversity of Twitter:
joannayoung - Oh I don’t like these polls! So many intriguing different voices. But I’d always follow @amypalko & through her, others
captainstardust - only 3??? i can say @amypalko and @joannayoung but how on earth to chose the last one??? too many candidates!
It was supposed to be hard, cap’n. Way to be judicious, though. We each assume we were the third one in the list
SHurleyHall - Only 3 people to follow? That is WAY too hard.
I told Sharon she could add two more, so she did:
SHurleyHall - Ok, how about @MenwithPens @rjleaman @doshdosh @bigbrightbulb @chrisgarrett. That still leaves out a few of my faves.
rjleaman - What, only 3? ditto on @SHurleyHall list (plus her), also @zeldman 4 soliloquy @joannayoung 4 dialogue @easton 4 my brain
And here I thought 5 should be plenty…
bslavinb - That’s easy @WBUR @eldevlin and @gradontrip
This was interesting to me. I don’t follow any of these folks, so I’ve got some new ones to read for a while.
ChattyDM - Warren Buffet, Robin Williams and God
In that order?
MenwithPens - Copyblogger, Rhodester and Harry (vegaspenman)
In that order?
AllenaTapia - Three twitters if I ONLY could follow 3: @thursdayb, @menwithpens and @queenofspain. Based on update amount and humor. ohh and based on links. I like links.
ellenwilson - Tough one Bob. Kind of reminds me of who would you like to be stranded on a deserted island with.
Anyone else care to chime in?

@ Diane - take it either way. Chatty DM’s response was also along those lines. Excellent responses, by the way!
