5 people whose tweets I always read

Let’s make that 50 – because I read all tweets from all people I follow.

When I’m rushed, I skim through them fast, but always read their messages… which is why I limit the number of people I follow on Twitter.

Still, there is just one person whom I follow on Twitter for a different reason – because she makes me LAUGH.

Meet @TheBloggess
Maybe she’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I can’t help reading ‘em all. Could growing up in Houston have wired my brain in a different way?!

I first met Jenny through a tweet from Guy Kawasaki, and later on read about how she planned to introduce Guy at an event in Houston.

If I were a censor board, I’d slap a PG rating on Jenny’s Twitter stream and “The Bloggess” blog – both for the language and the imagery it evokes. But that shock value and seemingly random thought stream is part of the brand that makes The Bloggess (and I quote from Guy’s blog), “the funniest person that I’ve met in years”!

I agree.

I follow her on Twitter primarily because I enjoy her creativity. Each tweet is a powerful lesson in copywriting… and there’s a strategy that sucks every qualified prospect to her blog, where with an intriguing mix of humor, controversy, and yes, even vulgarity, she keeps a reader from ever being bored.

(Also, I know a wee bit more about the person behind the blog, and so can ’see through the veil’ in a way most others may not!)

Do I recommend that you follow @TheBloggess ?

Blimey, NO!

Not unless you like that kind of stuff. My wife often sees me chuckling or choking at my computer screen, and when I show her the reason why, she doesn’t even crack a smile! So… diff’rent strokes for diff’rent folks.

But here’s one thing you can take to the bank.

ALL 50 PEOPLE I FOLLOW ON TWITTER ROCK!
