Metal Martyr’s 50 People You Should Be Following On Twitter

So I have spent the better part of the day going through my Twitter followers, weeding out the spammers, the “social marketing experts” and the people who just don’t update anymore, and I decided to create a list of some of my favorite Twitterers (Tweeters? Twats?). I was originally going to list 10, which quickly became 20, and soon I just needed to just pick a number and stick to it. 50 works.

I picked these 50 for a variety of reasons… because they make me laugh, because they are very active, because they are consistently interesting… and in one case because of a real nice rack (and brains to go with it). Seriously. You could start by following me.

So now I present to you, in no particular order, 50 people you should be following on Twitter. Because I say so.
