If you haven’t already, then you really should.  Twitter isn’t just a place to stalk connect to new and old friends, it’s also a great way to network, to gain information, news, and well, it’s just good reading!  The majority of Twitter users don’t even broadcast anything, but are passive followers, so don’t feel bad if you don’t feel witty enough to fill up those 140 characters -  Chances are you aren’t, so it’s best to leave it up to the professionals.  Like any medium, Twitter has its stars, ranging from the humorous, to the insightful.  Here’s a list of the most recommended users:

• s***mydadsays (485,722 followers) – 20 something male living with his cranky old dad. Let the hilarity ensue.
