The Geekiest List I’ve Ever Been On

December 3rd, 2008 7 comments

I’ve been on a couple of lists in my life–some good and some bad, but the latest list has to be the geekiest! My friend, Mark Drapeau who goes by Cheeky_Geeky on Twitter is an Associate Research Fellow at the National Defense University’s Center for Technology and National Security Policy. He holds a Ph.D. in ecology and evolutionary biology from the University of California – Irvine and a B.S. in biology (with honors) from the University of Rochester. See, I told you I may or may not have had a date with a complete nerd! Well, he put me on his Top Ten List Must Follow List:

Top 10 Tweeple who are Completely Awesome Sauce:

Peter Shankman @skydiver (HARO!)
Anaiis Flox @avflox (model blogger oooozing Peruvian sex)
Lindy Kyzer @LindyKyzer (Army kickass public affairs guru)
Andy Carvin @acarvin (NPR political mashup good guy)
Melanie Notkin @savvyauntie (good aunties make good girlfriends)
Pete Cashmore @mashable (Brad Pitt stole his look so he made a blog)
Andrea Rodgers @AskMissA (warmhearted socialite dating coach)
Tim O’Reilly @timoreilly (techno-visionary interlocuter)
Alana Taylor @alanataylor (Manhattanite counter-journalist)
Sarah Evans @prsarahevans (neverending pink pickmeups)

BONUS:
Gary Vaynerchuk @garyvee (wine + Jets = holy optimism, batman!!)

If you have no clue what “following” means, it means that you can see a person’s Twitter updates. I have my Twitter updates set so that when I post an update on Twitter, it automatically syncs my Facebook, Linked In and other social media updates, which saves a great deal of time. If you’re on Twitter, I hope you’ll follow me!
