And this is in no way a complete list (it’s only 50) but reflect my own personal criteria for what counts as a “great twitter experience” (and they’re in no particular order, it’s just how it came out.

Please note- no celebrities needed to give me a full and wonderful twitter experience. Ordinary people are just as interesting. (Update: yes there’s bots & magazines but I didn’t promise a “proper” list, just a list that was interesting to me. If you choose to follow them, that’s up to you)
And of course, if you want to read my witterings feel free to follow: @benjibrum

Gosh, what a very fine list. Excellent way to add to my followees, thank you.
And good grief! Thank you.
What constitutes a good Twitterer? I presume you have to have an interesting life in the first place yes?
Good twitterer- someone who I find interesting. That’s a wide church for me as I also find the tweets of Tower Bridge slightly emotionally moving. It’s not an exact science at all.
There’s also people who I follow but don’t think the world needs to read their tweets.
This 50 is also very different to the 50 I would have written before Xmas and the 50 I’ll write in 6 months time.
I’ll come back to it time and again and pop people onto it and take people off.
Aww, thank you Ben =)
Wow! *blushes with joy*
Thanks Ben
Thank you! I will repay the compliment very soon….
