What's Good On Twitter?

NoelSeven — Mon, 28 Apr 2014 23:03:33 GMT

I finally got myself up and running on Twitter, and now I'm wondering who or what is good to follow. I already have a couple of news sources, and I have one to recommend.

I stumbled across one the other day while checking something out for Viewpoints: Sadly, Not The Onion (Reddit). They offer funny news headlines you might swear had to be from the Onion, but no, they're real. Here they are online, and you can also follow them on Twitter.

Do you have one or more to recommend that's a favorite of yours?

I don't do Twitter. As George Clooney says ""it's for idiots""... His very intelligent girlfriend/ fiance recently closed her twitter account.

Neil deGrasse Tyson does Twitter. I can understand why you would shy away from it

You know, I was just thinking about that, LOL. A Twitter list is kind of like croemer's quizes, it tells something about you

Hi dBd! Two good ones! I had Neil deGrasse Tyson on my list to follow, but I hadn't thought of Steve Martin... I love his humor

Not that anybody asked, but when the Moon is in the 7th house, & Jupiter aligns with Mars, nothing will happen because of it.

(Pretty cute )

I know this is hard to believe but Sir Patrick Stewart (of Star Trek and X-Men fame) is a hoot. Who knew he had such a sense of humor? The photos he's posted with his best friend Sir Ian McKellen are really funny.

Love it!

Thanks for this thread, btw. I had 'way too many folks on my Twitter account and I removed them all in a fit of housekeeping and frustration (long uninteresting story), so it's fun to see who others are following. I need to rebuild my Twitter list, but I knew who I wanted to start with (along with my family and friends, that is).

Oh, good one! I've seen his tweets quoted before and he's great. I wonder if he's on Instagram, too. He gets good pix.

Thanks, bb
