Twitter Profiles You Should Be Following

Posted on the February 8th, 2009 under Cool Websites, Twitter, Web 2.0 by Timothy Allard

Now a days everyone and their sister has a Twitter account. People like you, people like me. But did you know Borat has one? Or how about Darth Vader, the Mars Lander? This comprehensive list is a collection of Twitter Profiles You Should Be Following. Just a warning. I have no official confirmation that the profiles listed below, are actually who they claim to be. There may be some impersonators out there, but it’s still fun none the less. I even categorized them. Enjoy and add your favorite profile addition in the comments below. I want this list to grow.

The Twitter API and jSON functions are very cool, and this is only the beginning to what can be done with it. I started with a search tool because it is a very practical thing to make. Let’s dissect it a bit to see how it was done.
