Your Turn - Twitter
So, thanks to the great response to my announcement on Friday that I had joined Twitter. I went from 0 followers to over 2,000 in just a day or two. I really appreciate it. Remember, if I get to 10,000 followers I will reveal one of the "long blind items." I Tweeted which one over the weekend.
Because I am new to this whole Twitter thing, I would love for you to tell me who you think I should follow. Throw out some names and I will follow the top one or two choices you can think of that I should follow. If you have any tips or other advice, I would really appreciate it too.
In case you would like to see my Twitter you can click on the link on the upper right or click here.
Sarah Silvermann! Her Twitter is hilarious. I like Seth Macfarlane too.
ReplyDeleteSteve Martin is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteAziz Ansari is great too.
@StoddenTransl8d. Awesome translations of Courtney's scary tweets.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Mindy Kaling.
ReplyDeleteMegan Amram, Julie Klausner, and Jenny JohnsonHi5 are all hilarious.
ReplyDeleteYou should follow most of the people you write blinds about. Freak them out :)
ReplyDelete@jennyandteets , Jason Biggs' wife. She is hilarious! Especially her live-tweets of The Bachelor every week
ReplyDeletePeople who make me regularly laugh:
ReplyDeleteConan, CraigyFerg, Jim Gaffigan, Rob Delaney, Michael Ian Black
Jenny JohnsonHi5 - Absolutely.
ReplyDelete@SteveMartinToGo, @LisaLampanelli, @DenisLeary, @SimonPegg
ReplyDeleteSince you are new to Twitter, #FF means Friday Follow when people list suggestions of others in the Twitterverse to follow.
I'm barely competent in Twitter, have no clue how to do anything but tweet or retweet, and seldom do either. I do enjoy Roger Ebert's tweets, as well as Wil Wheaton, Sockington, and my friend Katrina Gibson. I used to follow Courtney Stodden and Kirstie Alley but gave them both up when Courtney's tweets were offending me less than Kirstie's.

I work with Twitter a lot in my job, and I would say: don't just go for the number of followers. You end up with a lot of people who really don't care about you or about the site.
ReplyDeleteFigure out what you really want to do - for example, start a conversation with all of us who really DO care about the site - and respond to and converse with us, something you really can't do through the Google comments.
And sign up for Hootsuite. That way you can schedule Tweets in advance.
Ellen Barkin
ReplyDeleteI don't tweet. Can someone that does please tell me which blind item he mentioned he'd reveal via twitter if he hits 10k? please?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Also, @rainnwilson, who is responsible for this: My new Ed Hardy shirt says "I'm an asshole" in tiny, glittery skulls.
ReplyDeleteEnty, are you planning to follow any of us? If so, my twitter name is @SharonIsSmiling =)
ReplyDeleteEnty said he will reveal director on European drug binge. I think it's Tarantino, anyway :)
ReplyDelete@robdelaney and @JennyJohnsonHi5 are two of the funniest people on Twitter. @kellyoxford is great too.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, Tila Tequila was the only one worth following because of the bat-shit-crazies. I loved micro-blogging...in the 2000's.
ReplyDeleteEllen Barkin is hilarious, but she will tweet every 2 mins for hours, then nothing for days.
ReplyDeleteIf you are pressed for time, don't follow anyone. If you follow people who post a lot, like Jenny Johnson, then you'll be scrolling back all day long. Do you want informative posts or funny posts or celebs who post every random thought they have?
ReplyDeleteSadie, you don't have to 'do twitter' to read Enty's page. it's not private, it's like looking at any other site on the internet, anyone can read it. Just click on the link and read away to your hearts delight.
There are only two celebs I really follow. Robert Hoffman (because I am in love with him and he is hilarious) and Nathan Fillion ('nuff said).

ReplyDeleteadvice - as with all things media, don't tweet when toasted or risk sounding like a toasted twit
hey TROUBLE BUBBLE?
ReplyDeletenot QT (he likes weed and feet)It's
Roman Polansodomki
Alyssa_Milano is a good one
ReplyDeleteFC beat me to it. Alyssa Milano posts some interesting stuff sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI just can't keep up on twitter but I dusted off my account to follow Enty.
All the really good ones are already listed, but I also really like Rob Corddry
ReplyDeleteHello, @pattonoswalt brings the funny all the time.
ReplyDelete@SteveMartinToGo doesn't tweet as much as he used to, but when he does, it's great.
@ConanOBrien.
@MerrillMarkoe - former headwriter of Late Show, Letterman's ex, and totally hilarious.
Pookie, I do love me some @badpeggyolsen
Enty, don't take the top few, follow them all and start weeding them out as you see fit. I've quit following a lot of celebrities. I find that many of them are a little too pleased with themselves and not nearly as entertaining as they think they are. But sometimes someone who turns out to be a dbag via tweets will lead me to someone else I really like.
Steve Martin
ReplyDeleteAlbert Brooks
Garry Shandling
Alec Baldwin
Seth Meyers
Neil Patrick Harris
David Spade
Jesus Christ (@jesus_m_christ)
and these two ladies who crack me up to no end, even tho I have no idea who they are: @maryradzinski and @squirreljustice
p.s. Also, I follow CNN, various news links, NY Times, Rolling Stone, various writers I like (Roger Ebert, some TV critics I read), huffington post, vanity fair, etc. I use twitter as my headline service now, I get all my news there first. It's the fastest way to get breaking news if you follow enough news sources. I live in Los Angeles, so I follow things like earthquake trackers and local businesses I like, too. Twitter can actually be a tremendous tool.
ReplyDeleteKanye West because he's always saying crap youu can easily make fun of/rant about.

ReplyDeleteNeil Patrick Harris
ReplyDeleteNathan Fillion
Jim Gaffigan
Patricia Heaton likes to get into discussions/debates with her followers (I know some people don't like her views and/or don't want to read tweets from people disagreeing)
Conan is funny when he actually tweets.
Here's an idea for your next your turn: Who did you give up on following & why?
Danny Zucker
ReplyDeletePlease follow coke mom and MV.
ReplyDeleteEnty, it's crucial to set up the people you follow in lists, or else you get overwhelmed with all the clutter. Do that from the beginning or you'll forget why you followed someone. Like a list for any readers you follow, comedians, actors, etc...
ReplyDeleteWhil Wheaton is the best person on Twitter, imo. @wilw

ReplyDeleteThank you Trouble Bubble!
ReplyDeleteIf you follow @DavidHasselhoff, he follows you back. But he only tweets about his appearances. No drunk tweets.

@elibraden the best celebrity sniper, totally hilarious. Go see his music comedy shows in LA you will die laughing! He starts a lot of the memes that the bigger comedians pick up later.
