YEs, Ellen, you are right…just add whoever you want here and I will get into the main group. I agree with your points.

Thanks for a thoughtful list of people to follow, GL, and I agree with folks comments here.Have you considered leaving your list open to suggestions that others add – as an open document with team relevance. Why so?

In addition to your listed names, I personally like to remain open to amazing people and their insights as well as ideas that differ from your categories here.

Who you follow depends on one’s reason to Twitter and what is the goal of interactions. Numbers, ranks, and ads for instance remain unimportant to me, and I do not twitter for any of the above. That changes who I follow.

More valuable to me, the marketplace of brilliant ideas and renewal possibilities trumps all other reasons to Twitter. My work with the brain also suggests the value of reading people who differ, who engage, who support others more than seek support and other ideals. That differs for all – and it’s why open and engaging and curiosity building lists work best for me.

While I would not copy and paste any list of folks to follow – I do enjoy the interesting and diverse perspectives gained from many of the people you include – and many not here – to inspire my own busy days. Just another take on a good idea you raised:-) Thanks:-)

This is so interesting it will take me a while to get through them. I have had plenty of them already on my list, but like the new ones too! If you had a category for children’s books, @Kakief would be a good one to follow. She writes the award winning Bur Bur and Friends series

Thanks for publishing a great and useful list! I have resisted using any automated following apps, but will likely use ninjafollow to fill in the blanks of who I am not already following from these lists. Like J.T., also wish @crisjobcoach had made your list.

Great idea GL – I’m following a bunch of the folks above, but found plenty of new ones to follow too.

I just wish @careerealism had made the list!
