Who Do You Follow? - 140 Best Twitter Feeds - TIME

[rivendellrose]

Hey, if you don't like the idea of Sarah Palin's Twitter currently being the 5th top-ranked Twitter feed to follow on a TIME magazine poll, go hit up some other awesome people and organizations. So far Neil Gaiman's still at #1, which is fine, but deserving people like Neil deGrasse Tyson (awesome astronomer) and important orgs like, I dunno, the National Science Foundation and medical journal The Lancet are running waaaaaaaay in the bottom of the stakes. Come on, people - we can totally do better than that. Go vote for Margaret Atwood, or Nancy Pelosi, or Stephen Colbert, or Felicia Day, or Wil Wheaton...

Really, anybody except Sarah Palin. :P

. ..but I'm kinda happy with Neil Gaiman being up there.

I'm still not a fan of the whole concept of twitter in general. I despise small-talk and all things that resemble it. Does the whole world really need to act like we're all chatting in a bar?

I am too. I realized it didn't look like it (oops) and went and fixed the text, sorry about that.

But yeah. Twitter's a fairly odd concept, and I mostly use it because my friends do. On the other hand, keeping a poll like this from naming Sarah Palin one of the top people to listen to in my country? Screw it, I'm all over that shit. I don't care who comes top as long as it isn't her or Newt Gingrich.

I follow... 3 of those people. Huh. I feel slightly lame.

Had the same feeling myself, though I added a few in the process of filling out the poll. Technically it doesn't say anywhere that you can only vote for people you actually follow. ;)

Stephen Fry needs to win this shit.

[gaslightgallows]

Now that you mention it... why isn't Stephen Fry on this list?

[parhelion-spark.livejournal.com]

ikr? Odd omission. People linking to fantasticalness on his twitter is like 90% of why I even made one. XD

Love Neil's twitter, and yeah, I need to go add, like, ALL the awesome people on that list (but not Sarah fucking Palin). Nancy! Colbert! Wheaton!

Also, Stephen Fry should be on that list. So should Nathan Fillion, who is geeky and awesome and high-larious.
