  Seven Fascinating People You Should Have Been Following on Twitter 

  
  Twitter’s short format is really excellent for finding and connecting with great thinkers. I have found these seven individuals to be some of the most fascinating and follow all of them with bated breath.
  
  

  

  Without further ado and in no particular order:

  1. @sfslim
     Name Aaron Muszalski
     Location San Francisco, CA
     Bio Burning Man builder, VFX artist/educator, polyglamorous social connector, DIY culture evangelist, anarcho-Dada Buddhist biker punk; I eat concepts & make things.

  
  

  Just an eccentric guy who builds awesome stuff. Every single tweet I have ever read was about something totally new and interesting.

  
  

  2. @27bslash6
     Name David Thorne
     Location Adelaide
     Web http://www.27bslash6.com/p2p.html
     Bio Amongst my qualities, which include reciting prime numbers backwards from 90956, reading to blind children & training seals, embellishment may be at the top.

  
  
  

  Hilariously bitter and sarcastic wit. Really funny guy. Hilariously funny blog at the above url.

  
  

  3. @fsjblog
     Name Fake Steve
     Location Cupertino, Calif.
     Web http://fakesteve.net
     Bio I run the coolest company in the world. I don’t want to be your friend. Deal with it.

  
  
  

  Hilarious and sharp take on tech as if he were Steve Jobs with flair.

  
  

  4. @rules_unbornson
     Name Walker Lamond
     Web http://rulesformyunbornson.tumblr.com/
     Bio Let’s get some things straight before I get old and uncool.

  
  
  

  Excellent perspective with a classic but refreshing view on points of life and living.

  
  

  5. @thomashawk

  6. @tariqnasheed
     Name Tariq Nasheed
     Location Los Angeles
     Web http://macklessonsradio.com.

  
  
  

  This guy is a so-called “game advisor” or “mack” or whatever you want to call it, but bottom line: he has some real insights about relationships and just dealing with people in general. Follow him and listen to his podcasts to learn more.

  
  

  7. @shitmydadsays
     Name Justin
     Bio I’m 29. I live with my 73-year-old dad. He is awesome. I just write down shit that he says

  
  
  

  This guy has the funniest and most charismatic S.O.B. for a father ever. It’s always hilarious.

  
  

  Who are the fascinating people you follow? I would love to know so don’t hesitate to let me know @Benfoden

  What I Do 

  For work I manage communities, marketing, web design, and development independently and with Nielson Design.

  If you are interested in the tangible benefits of these services, please send me an email to the address in the sidebar, and I would love to hear more. Also, see my about page for a brief resume and biographical information.

  Meaningful side projects include practicing the Python programming language, Google App Engine, and VIM as well as drawing, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. For sheer fun I enjoy video games, biking, snowboarding, anime, and djing.
  
  

  Those are the essentials, at least.
