Nov. 27, #FollowFriday

This being Thanksgiving weekend and all, I thought I'd do a Follow Friday this week on people I'm thankful to have met met solely due to Twitter.I have to admit, I had my doubts about Twitter before I started using it regularly. I was tripped up by the "what are you doing?" prompt and couldn't imagine why anyone in their right mind would care what I was doing. Hell, I barely cared.But as I started following interesting people and reading what they had to say and share, I began to realize how useful - and cool - Twitter actually was. There are a few folks I've met through Twitter whom I otherwise never would have had the good fortune to run across. I hope I someday get to meet them all in person.• AYoungOne: Anna Young and I spent months debating when to get an iPhone. Should we wait for the 3GS? Should we just take the plunge? What apps should we try? Despite the fact that she's a USC Trojan (I still haven't gotten over the 1996 Rose Bowl, sorry!), I love our chats, even if they have nothing to do with the iPhone. For the record, I waited and got the 3GS, she didn't.• Kcecelia: Katherine C. James has accepted my ... enjoyment of bacon and run with it. She is as likely to @ me with a photo of something relating to The Other White Meat as she is to discuss her Duwamish roots (an American Indian tribe) in Seattle. Talk about a diverse Twitter stream. She's lots of fun to talk to and just good people.• PaulZink: I couldn't tell you how I got to chatting with Paul Zink; I can't rightly remember. But I do know that every time I see an @ reply from him, I know it'll be on target, amusing or both. He has a wry sense of humor and changes his avatar with a frequency that can only be called "often." He is basically a pinko commie, so don't follow him if you use the #tcot hashtag a lot.• MWTapp: Michael Tapp. He used to be @ragebotsdigg, but in a fit of sanity one day decided to change it to his name. I got to chatting with him one night when #HarryPotter was trending. We endeavored to get #HarryPotterHate trending, but apparently we were in an extreme minority. Part of the problem, I suppose, is that neither of us actually hated Harry Potter, either. We just really couldn't give a crap about the young wizard and his misadventures. We just wanted to get it trending for the heck of it.That's it for my Follow Friday this week. There are some other folks I've met specifically through Twitter, but I've either already #FF'd them previously or I have other connections to them, so I thought I'd end here.As always, please let me know in the comments section if you think there are other people I should be following. Always interested in finding new, cool people to check out.
