Good following

Twitter

If you’re interested in any of the themes covered by this site, Twitter is an essential tool for research and sharing information.

Some fascinating people ‘do’ Twitter; thought leaders and professionals in development and sustainability, scientists and technologists, bloggers and brainboxes. Practically every charity, campaigning organisation and NGO worth its salt now has, or is developing, a presence on Twitter. You might find something through Twitter that you couldn’t find anywhere else, be it an idea, a link, a conversation or a comment. All of these things are also succinctly put – it has to fit into 140 characters of text or less.

Twitterers to follow

Following is what you do on Twitter when you’re interested in what someone has to say, and requires no phone calls, payments of money or exchanges of bodily fluid. If you start asking for or offering any of these things, don’t be surprised if they don’t follow you back.

If you’re new to Twitter, Mashable offers the best and most comprehensive guidebook on the service.
