Twits worth following

Unless you have been living in a cave you will have noticed that this Twitter thing is exploding. There are already well over a 150 twitterers, twits, tweeters or whatever Twitter user is called, who tweet about sailing and boating. I am following 154 sailing-related twitter feeds. They are of varying quality. Some are purely blog feeds, i.e. they automtiaclly tweet when they have new blog post and not much else. I am little guilty of this myself. Most rarely seem to tweet much at all.

There are a bunch that really stood out to me as they seem to be taking the time to use Twitter in a smart and engaging way. Here are a few I especially like. They are in no particular order and I have probably missed a bunch so don't take it personally if you are not on the list:

Scuttlebutt
Sailing Anarchy
Wetass
Mark Hendy
boatingwithrob
sailwithrob
PumaOceanRacing
GreenBoating
marekofholland
sailmonster
Yachtingmonthly
Blursailing
Timmynocky
sailproud
Bigoceans
Petermello
Firstboat

You can find them by using Find People through Twitter or by uisng Twitter Search. This post will of course be tweeted automatically by this blog. It has a life of its own.

Hey, thank you for the mention.

There is also twitter "tribe" which is basically a filter that catches any tweets containing the term "sailing" so if you like to talk and read about sailing or just want to connect and follow others with the same interest its worth a look.

Thanks for mentioning. Using Twitter was a way for me to extend my communication without translating my local blog to English. Now I can have a local focus on my blog and use Twitter for the stuff that deserves to be global...

Thanks again for following!
