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.

    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.

  15. 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.

    Figure 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.

  16. I 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?

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Also, @rainnwilson, who is responsible for this: My new Ed Hardy shirt says "I'm an asshole" in tiny, glittery skulls.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Enty, are you planning to follow any of us? If so, my twitter name is @SharonIsSmiling =)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Enty said he will reveal director on European drug binge. I think it's Tarantino, anyway :)

    ReplyDelete
  20. @robdelaney and @JennyJohnsonHi5 are two of the funniest people on Twitter. @kellyoxford is great too.

    ReplyDelete
  21. In my opinion, Tila Tequila was the only one worth following because of the bat-shit-crazies. I loved micro-blogging...in the 2000's.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Ellen Barkin is hilarious, but she will tweet every 2 mins for hours, then nothing for days.

    ReplyDelete
  23. If 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?

    Sadie, 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.

  24. 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).

    advice - as with all things media, don't tweet when toasted or risk sounding like a toasted twit

  29. Alyssa_Milano is a good one

  30. FC beat me to it. Alyssa Milano posts some interesting stuff sometimes.

    I just can't keep up on twitter but I dusted off my account to follow Enty.

    ReplyDelete
  31. All the really good ones are already listed, but I also really like Rob Corddry

  32. Hello, @pattonoswalt brings the funny all the time.

    @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.

  34. 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.

    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?

  42. Please follow coke mom and MV.

  43. Enty, 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...


    Whil Wheaton is the best person on Twitter, imo. @wilw

    His friend Chris Hardwick, a.k.a. The Nerdist is also super funny and interesting: @nerdist

  47. If you follow @DavidHasselhoff, he follows you back. But he only tweets about his appearances. No drunk tweets.

    And if you're following followers, you can follow me @kimbo_aloco.
