Thanks to all for playing, this was a FUN experience. With more than 900 voters and 2,500 tweeples voted for, the Twitter community definitely used their voice! I’m already looking forward to the 2009 contest.

Let’s do an interview sometime for NixTheNews.com (You can hear my latest with Internet sensation Jonathan Budd there now). Doing one with Carrie (Barefoot Exec) next week, and Willie Crawford “sometime” in October.

What interests me the most is how many of these people I’ve never heard of before. Twitter is a bigger, wider world than I realized. We all are so conscious of our own network of friends that it easy to forget that there are millions of other networks existing simultaneously that we have no knowledge of (obviously). It’s like a million flavors of Twitter only we all have a cone & an ice cream scoop.

Hm. I missed the voting entirely, tho I did retweet the nominations quite a bit – when was the vote?
That said – great list – I agree with much of it!
(although really? FakeSarahPalin? somehow, being real seems like it might be a pre-requisite!

Sarah – Thanks so much for putting this together. How cool is it that people think I have something to say. Lord knows what that might be……guess that’s why I’m an “Other”, eh?!
Thanks again. You rock!

I see alot of PR / marketting / entreprenuer / web 2.0 tweeples but what about the under-represented funny people like cartoonists (like me, shameless self promotion I know…)
nothing but entertaining cartoon tweets….
Enjoy!

opefully the most popular people are the ones delivering the most value and humor, but those things vary depending on the audience. Some people like Dave Taylor, Coach Deb and Guy Kawasaki are obvious choices because they provide information that drives interesting and helpful Twitter conversations.

Chrystal said:
Wow, what a cool list and thanks to the Guru of New for sharing this list on FB. Two Sarah’s that I admire a lot! I am surprised Guy Kawasaki is not on the list, but in one way it makes it even more interesting. I noticed no one in my industry (sex toys, sex experts) made it on the list. Something to think about for me.

My apologies. I found Guy on the list. So sorry, Chrystal @blissconnection

Most importantly, such a division need not necessarily mean separate Web sites or systems.

I follow 42 tweeters for my business account. I get about 160 to 220 tweets per day. No way for me to read them all. A few are on this list. If I follow another 42 that would be around 400 tweets per day. Meaning 80% to 90% of the tweets will not get seen or read. This means correlating that the tweeters above will be sending out tweets and 80% to 90% of their followers will not see or read their tweets! So is twitter a powerful medium?
