Let's Talk Twitter (Again)

Follow me on:

Last week, I posted some some tips about using Twitter along with a list of some music-y people I like to follow on the social network (you can see that list here). Since then, a couple of things have happened. Once, some readers suggested even more great Twitter follows to me - see below for that list. Two, Artist House Music (find them on Twitter here: @artistshouse) announced plans for a web chat to discuss Twitter use in the music industry. This video chat takes place tomorrow (Wednesday, February 4) at 3:30pm Central Time (USA). Find out how to submit questions and join the conversation here. I'll be at the chat, and I highly recommend you check it out, too, if you get the chance.

And now, on to the aforementioned new list of Twitter users to check out. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions - feel free to keep 'em coming! If you made a suggestion and it's not here - it's nothing personal, it's just gotten lost in the shuffle. Remind me!
