565934606_cee1068a60Figuring out who to follow on Twitter is a big step to your continued use of this new media. The more interesting the people you follow, the more interesting their tweets, and the more you learn from them. It’s hard to continue to upgrade your list. Here is a technique I have found that helps. Here are seven groups of twitterers that are particularly good: Top HR People who twitter about workplace issues; Top Non Fiction Authors who have written books and have more to say; Executive and Life Coaches who provide insights and tips for all of us who want to improve and ‘get ahead;’ a list of Top celebrities and Kewl people just because we should have fun using twitter, too; Top Venture Capitalists because a lot of people who read this blog are all about starting new companies; Top software developers because the world is being run by these folks and it is always good to overhear their conversations; and last but not least, the Top interactive agencies who have found new ways to use twitter and other social media in their own businesses.

I have not taken the time to describe each and every person below. What I have done is made it simple for you to follow by creating this simple copy and paste list of the top twitters’ twitter names. Just copy and paste each list into www.ninjafollow.com and you will be following them. Some will follow you back and, of course, over time, if you don’t like their tweets, you can always un-follow them. Please add to the list if I missed you, and I am sorry for the oversight.
