Posted in Twitter by Harvey on October 15, 2009

The web is full of lists telling you who to follow on twitter. Users for your job search. Users for money tips. Users for tax advice. Even twitter users for colon cleansing.

    Those were funny, but the only link I clicked on was (probably soon to my regret) the link to follow you. Fortunately I don’t have to actually join twitter, I can just get the rss feed.
