Twitter is taking the social networking space by storm.  If you are not tweeting yet, you might soon be.  So how can you keep up-to-date with relevant Tweeters?

Twitter is a great way to keep in touch, and make direct contact with people and organisations that share your interests.

So who to follow on Twitter?  That’s very much a personal preference of course. And Twitter is still at the launch phase of its life cycle, so many potential Tweeters are yet to signup.

Here is a list of Twitter accounts that you might find useful:
