Twitter+Resources

What I hope to do with this page is build up a list of people, publishers, and projects that are worth (have 'value') following on Twitter. This is also a place to post tools and information about anything related to Twitter, or how to become more literate with this social medium.

For example, I follow //Toronto Vegetarian Association (@TorontoVeg)//. Anyone who is a vegetarian, vegan, or enjoys eating veggie foods will probably come to love following the //Toronto Vegetation Association//. The tweets mostly consist of events happening in Toronto, recipes/blogs, general news, and activism (all pertaining to a vegetarian lifestyle). If, perhaps, you are considering turning vegetarian, I would highly recommend following or going to the website for support and information.
