Now for those of you that do not know, I have an intense addiction to everything mobile (Blackberries, smartphones and most recently my Android G1) By the way...my idea of a perfect phone is one that can keep me away from my desk without hindering my productivity. Recently while exploring blogs...I read about the mobile application called "Twitter" and I decided to try it out.
I downloaded the application and indulged in a 90 day binge of reading tweets from all kind of people about things as simple as what they had for breakfast to what their meaning of life is. As a collective we shared news, asked questions, shared resources, described life's idiosyncrasies at a record rate.
Now me being the Urban Jibaro...I naturally sought out Latinos who are using twitter and found a great group of people who actually bring a very wide range of interests to my daily routine, not all of them Latino...(shout out to Eathan (@IDateWhite), my brother from another mother)
Here is my list of Twitter A-Listers...now it is important to mention that these people were selected based on consistency and quality of their interactions online. Because of these 25 "Tweeters" My days are filled with friendly exchanges, informative news alerts, funny moments and so much more...check them out today!
Now I know I will get emails from some people close to me are on twitter but they only have 4 tweets under their belt...they did not make the list...sorry mi gente...YOU GOTTA BE IN IT TO WIN IT....
