Twitter-Dee-Dee

Okay. I've pretty much said everything I have to say about Twitter (well, except for the public admission that it very much feeds my voyeur habit) so I thought instead I'd make this post a sort of Public Service Announcement for all you violets who Tweet or are considering Twitter. I kept hearing about how others were making all these great contacts or learning all this great info that helped them career-wise, but boy, can you spend a lot of time trying to figure out where to find those sorts of contacts. So I thought I'd put together a Twitter Directory of possible industry people you might want to follow. I'd LOVE it if other Violets who Twitter would also throw in any contacts they know. And you're welcome to do it anonymously if you'd prefer. I'll add entries to this list as others add to it, then maybe we'll post a permalink to it in the sidebar.
