A Social Network Startup Pack.

Posted on 30. Oct, 2007 by nikbutler in SocialNetworks

One of the many values of a Podcamp is the spontaneous sessions and conversations that occur between the conversations.

So when Sara Nicole asked us “Who should I follow on Twitter ?” there was the usual collection of recommendations. Which lead to me suggesting we create a “unSession” and invite Podcampers to drop my and contribute. The Suggestions below are in no particular order nor have we “categorised” them as was the pressing need of some individuals.

If you are just entering the social media networking world and are looking for interesting conversations to listen into then we would love to suggest the following individuals. You are of course welcome to drop a comment here and suggest a few more.

Robert Scoble ( Scobliezer ) and his ( Scobelinksblog ) , John Gruber, Scott Simpson ( scottsimpson ),

    Hey Nik,
    Now I really wish I would’ve followed Jeff Glasson’s advice to attend Pod Boston 2! Will you be there next year?

    I’m so humbled to be on your list. I met Kevin here on your blog. And thanks in advance for add’l friends I meet due to being included in your list here.

    Thanks my friend!
    Connie

    Thanks for adding me to this illustrious group — I’m honored! It’s great advice to recommend people with similar interests to follow on Twitter. I’ve tweeted that that very question before — who should I be following? I don’t remember what path I followed to find you on Twitter, but I’m glad I did. :)
