The Top 50 Tweeples to Follow – 2009 Edition

Tweeple: Those who use Twitter.

In September/October 2008 I launched the first edition of the Top 50 Tweeples to Follow. It was an opportunity to find interesting people with intriguing content from a variety of backgrounds. The Top 50 list is determined by you and your networks. The original concept was to help new Twitter users find interesting people to connect with. Think of it as the “people’s” quick, getting started guide. This is also not meant to be a Twitter celebrity guide (although they can be nominated). It is geared towards those who use Twitter in a professional manner (i.e. to grow their connections or gain visibility).

Think about the list like this: If someone just joined Twitter and wanted a well-rounded experience AND could only follow 50 people, what would that list look like?

The is not meant to be a “vote for me” contest, but a chance for others to selflessly promote their Twitter favorites.

PROMOTE: Nominations now live for the Top 50 Tweeples to Follow: 2009. Tweet it! Twitter

HOW TO NOMINATE: There are THREE TWO ways to nominate someone:

1. TWEET the following: I nominate <insert their twitter ID> (i.e. @twitterID) as a #Top50Tweep in <insert expertise*> http://bit.ly/41Ezxs (You must submit in this format in order for your nomination to count.)

2. Leave a comment on this post in this format: First Name, Last Name, @TwitterID, Expertise* Once you nominate someone, tweet the following: “I just nominated @theirtwitterID as a #Top50Tweep.” (This tweet does not count as a second nomination.)

3. Use the PollDaddy Twitter Poll and select “other” to submit. Submit as: First Name, Last Name, @TwitterID, Expertise* Once you nominate someone, tweet the following: “I just nominated @theirtwitterID as a #Top50Tweep http://bit.ly/41Ezxs”

UPDATE: The PollDaddy “Other” results are not visible, so I will not be using this. The poll was live for approximately 10 minutes and no one had submitted. I did a “test” vote to verify this.

Nominations begin: Immediately
Time frame: Now through August 18 at 12 noon CST

The Top 50 Tweeples to Follow of 2009 nominees will be announced later in August! Stay tuned.

The Rules (you know there had to be a few):

  1. Nominate as many people, as many times as you’d like.
  2. Nominations which don’t follow the submission guidelines (above) will not be counted.
  3. Provide a separate entry for each person you would like to nominate. If you list someone in more than one expertise in a single nomination, that counts as ONE nomination.
  4. You can nominate yourself (although that’s not the point).
  5. I cannot be nominated (just in case you were thinking about it).
  6. Remember, this is for fun.

Expertise Options*:

  • Business/Entrepreneur
  • Career
  • Creative/Design
  • Education
  • Entertainment
  • Environment/Green
  • Family
  • Fashion
  • Food
  • Government/Politics
  • Humor
  • Medical/Health care
  • New media/Blog
  • PR/Marketing/Advertising
  • Technology
  • Traditional News/Media
  • Travel
  • Up and Coming

*The expertise options are to clarify what these people “talk” about and to connect them with other people who are interested in the same topics. If there is a category missing, feel free to add to your nomination.

    As a note, I added public safety instead of just medical/healthcare because there are a WHOLE lot of firefighters and other various safety companies (Amber Alerts, Fire Safety companies, etc) that exist on Twitter that are really beneficial to all and are great communicators within their niche.

    EARN MONEY FIVE WAYS WITH OUR LUCRATIVE COMPENSATION FLEX PAY PLAN

    Our Compensation Flex Pay Plan is the most lucrative in the industry with multiple ways for you to earn an income. Unlike other affiliate marketing companies, we have a true retail marketing system where our associates are able to sell quality products and services, at competitive prices to everyone, earning the difference between wholesale and retail. Besides retail commissions paid to the selling associate, additional monies go back into the overall compensation plan. Our compensation plan is anchored by a 3×9 Matrix. Our matrix is unique in that it has complete vertical and horizontal compression, meaning we pay out 100 % of matrix pay with NO breakage. We also offer a Global Bonus Pool, Up-line Retail Commissions, and Matching Bonuses up to 50%. In fact, Global Verge pays out over 80% of every dollar taken in.

    I just starting using Weight Watchers again. I have an old 2007 edition of the Dining Out Companion Book but I was thinking of updating and buying the 2009 book on ebay. Is it worth it? Are there a lot of new places listed or is it pretty much the same?
