I like @xpnplaylist because I am always listening to WXPN at work and the playlist tells you the song playing and the artist as soon as it comes on!

Karen, Using Twitter to send alerts on missing children certainly dispels the myth that Twitter is merely a silly diversion.

Cath, I’m a Twitter newbie too. But I just installed TweedDeck (saw Karen Swim using it) and it really helps organize the ridiculous amount of information that pours in. You might want to try it.

Hi Brad – I’m still learning Twitter and I had no idea there were non-people on there too. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Brad! I also follow @marsphoenix and find it fascinating. Just started following @missingkids, which sends alerts about missing children. I retweet the tweets to help spread the word. I also follow @wholefoods, and the Red Cross. Hmm, come to think of it I follow a lot of non-people along with my people! lol!

Thanks Robert. Now I know what you’re doing all day! The Singapore traffic one sounds interesting … Definitely have to check that one out.

Well, I don’t have time to follow that many, but there are a HUGE number of interesting Twitterers (is that really a word?) out there.

Such as:

@punoftheday (A groaner a day, guaranteed)
@redswingline (Red Swingline stapler, presumably the one from The Office – or a close relative)
@sgtraffic (Singapore traffic – and you thought Chicago’s was bad!)
@marsphoenix (Did you know the Mars Phoenix Lander twitters? No, really.)

I’m sure there’s about a bazillion others with *ahem* real value.
