YOUR 40 Top People To Follow on Twitter
My "40 PR-Related People To Follow On Twitter" post yesterday got quite the reaction – both in terms of traffic and conversation. I was thrilled to see the number of people who responded, recommending other people, and happy to observe that I was already following many of those who were recommended.
Bizarrely, as it turns out, you recommended the same number of people that I did (at this point in time, anyway).
