Because 140 characters sometimes is not enough, these are my Twitter #FollowFriday recommendations. I follow these people because they’re interesting and they engage in dialog. They’re in it for the people, not just the platform. You should follow them too.
Ladies first. :)
@tlcolson Tammy works in HR and also has a degree in computer science. Her tweets are insightful and often funny.

@annienels I found Annie because of her tweets on local filmmaking. She’s smart and often excited about something, which is frankly contagious.

@johnrobinson How many people can say they’re acquainted with the editor of their local paper? I wouldn’t be if not for Twitter. John loves to talk about the future of newspapers and the importance of covering local news. He also has a blog at http://www.news-record.com/blog/jrblog

@Scobleizer Robert is plugged into everything and everyone when it comes to technology. His level of interaction with his fans and followers on Twitter and FriendFeed is insane, in a good way. Heck, he even returned *my* call. Very nice guy. http://friendfeed.com/scobleizer
