I was thinking tonight about some people, real or otherwise, dead or alive, who may have had some pretty intriguing twitter updates given the opportunity. Here is my top 10 list of people I would have followed on Twitter in a heartbeat.
- Mr. Rogers – “Would you be mine, could you be mine…won’t you read my updates…”
- Harriet Tubman – Updates from the Underground Railroad? Priceless.
- Batman’s sidekick, Robin aka, the Boy Wonder – Holy Shnikes! Batman’s doing 100mph out of the bat cave.
- Fat Albert – “Hey, hey, hey…”
- Mr. Snuffleupagus – I’m sure he knew what was “really” going on on Sesame Street
- Richard Pryor - #@%$ &^%$# *&^%T
- Richard Nixon – “I am still not a crook”
- Anyone on The Titanic – For obvious reasons
- Michael Jackson - Not sure why, but it would have to be during the Thriller years
- My mother – So I could hold it all against her and prove she was no saint!
How about you? Who would you follow on Twitter if the opportunity presented itself?

What a great question!
Hmmm …
1. John Adams — Though I think he’d struggle with the 140 character limit.
2. Margaret Bourke-White — Pioneering photojournalist who I just added to my “Three People for Dinner” list after reading her autobiography
3. Jackie Onasis-Kennedy — Could crash Twitter single-handedly.
4. Lewis Black — How funny would his one-liners be?
5. Han Solo — “Leia called me a scruffy-looking nerf-herder, I think she’s into me.”
6. Darth Vader — The view from the other side.
7. Michael Corleone — The Godfather of Tweets.
8. My dog, Lucy — I’d love to know what’s going on in that furry little head of hers.
9. Leonardo da Vinci — Every other day he was inventing something new. OK, every TWO days.
10. Angela Connor — Oops, I already am!
(Man, that was tough!)

Now you have got me pondering…
1. Tim Burton- he has a great imagination so I wonder what he would write.
2. Mahatma Ghandi- I’m sure I’d learn a thing or two
3. Ferial Haffajee- for being a prominent female editor in South Africa
4. Jenny Preece- for her thoughts on usability
5. Rumi- for inspiration
6. Khalil Gibran- for extra inspiration
7. Frank Webster- the only lecturer who really inspired me at university
8. Prince- I wonder what roams through his mind
And the last two? Well I’ll ponder that on the way to work tomorrow.
