in Great Twitter Users

Everyday we’re seeing new top ‘Top 10 Must Follow’ lists submitted to our challenge to create lists for different industries. Today I wanted to highlight three more - these one focus upon the niches of ‘cigars’, ‘politics’ and ‘education’.

I hope you enjoy them and find some interesting new Twitter users to follow. Keep in mind that these are constructed by individuals with their own preferences - you’re more than welcome to make up and submit your own Top 10s.

Good lists. Love the cigar list.

I really need to get into one of these lists, being that I’m essentially dominating the top ten in…Indianapolis.

You might want to title that Top 10 Conservative US Political must follows. They’re really only going to interest US folks, and I wouldn’t follow most of them on a dare (bring the radical leftist liberal that I am *laughs*)

8 Rahul 12.13.08 at 3:14 pm @weemundo

Wow , thanks for the top 10 educators list on twitter , i would love to follow em all :)

9 Dantanner 12.13.08 at 3:55 pm @dantanner

You only follow those who follow others. Simple as that. I shun following Big names, Gurus, and Egoistical Maniacs who are sitting there to ” collect ” followers.

Twitter is about empowering common people not empowering celebrities who have a full time PR Machine grinding away pictures and snippets all over Internet 24/7. You as ordinary citizen do not have that, so use twitter to leverage your presence in a equal way.

Could this initiative turn one day into something like Alltop for Twitter?

11 Ramses 12.14.08 at 12:17 am @Spanishonly

I’m missing @markbennett at the educator list. Should be in it for sure.

top 10 spammer (not to follow those unless you’re masochistic)
top 10 innovation ppl (or visionaries?)
top 10 environmental ppl
top 10 musicians
And one more:

Cheers.
