My Twitter Roll

Since I have seen people doing #FollowFridays via twitter, and listing out the folks that they are following, I thought i would do the same.
However, since twitter only allows 140 chars at a time, that is much to small for a list. My next thought was too pull all the tweeps that i do follow into a list, and categorize it. Why not post it to my blog? Yeah, i thought it was a great idea too. :)

As you can tell, these will not fit in 140 chars.
I know that there are more people following me than I am following. As a rule, when people start engaging me directly via Twitter on SQL topics, or things I care about, I add them. I rarely seem to get the time to go searching for new tweeps to add. But if you come across my plate and are interesting to me, I will add you. So, as time marches on, I will be adding more folks to follow. And I hope to have a larger list in the future.

I often wish there was a way to data mine twitter, so i could grab everything someone says, and follow their conversations, pulling in what other tweeps say, and following the entire conversation.
Or just a way to catch up on what my favorite tweeps have said.

Maybe someone will write something like that....
