Partly based on tweets I’ve favorited, and tweeps that share my interests. Anyway, without further ado…

10. AnaMarieCox

Political correspondent for Air America her “rapid-fire would-be wittery — real-time mocking of White House briefings, Senate hearings, breaking news” is the perfect twitter friend for a news-gawker, and politcal junkie like me. One of my favorite tweets:

Announcer tells #rncchair voters: “It’s just like you’re graduating from high school… or kindergarten.” My work here is done.

9. JoelDrapper

Web designer, blogger, and quite possibly one of the coolest 15 year olds on the planet. My favorite tweet so far:

@Dragonwheels I’m not sure what you mean. Blogging is awesome! I’m a blogger. Twitter can’t replace blogging, and can’t replace rss feeds.

8. Paisano

Originally from Italy (how cool), he’s now an IT Manager, and writes for three different blogs, including Mashable. I think I actually laughed out loud at this, when I first saw it:

I call this photo friendfeed beta http://bit.ly/HXD2

7. SethGoldstein

A fellow philly web designer, and always passing along a ton of awesome (web development) links. One of my recent favorites:

http://twitpic.com/3airw – Can’t make up my mind. Seesmic needs help but intrigues me Tweetdeck works

6. JimMacMillan

Pulitzer-winning visual journalist, and awesome photographer, Jim is the perfect Philly journalist, as he always just seems to be on top of everything cool in the city:

It was that annual classic first warm spring day on the main campus at Temple University in Philadelphia today: http://twitpic.com/3hhv5

5. Malarkey

The consummate British designer, and quite an amusing twitter-er to boot! Great stuff:

When £1 = 1Euro, why don’t we just adopt the Euro and be done with it? Today’s economics, brought to you by Chancellor Malarkey

4. BreakingNews

For a self-professed news-junkie, BreakingNews is better than anything MSNBC, CNN, or FoxNews offers. They’re quick with the updates, and cover international stories as well as domestic. I don’t really have a favorite, but this latest tweet made me smile:

The time has come to bring marriage equality to the state of New York,” says Gov. Paterson as he announces a bill to legalize gay marriage.

3. StephenFry

I don’t really have time to explain all the awesomeness of Steven Fry; you’ll just have to trust me on this one:

Apparently I have the blood pressure of a teenager. Which makes me ridiculously skippy and pleased with myself…

2. MichaelMonday

Video-journalist in Newark, social butterfly, and RL friend, Mike always seems to have the inside-track on sports, entertainment, and anything pop-culture. One of my favorite tweets:

@christopherscot I’m foreseeing a great new feature to Risk: Your country is now a trillion dollars in debt to China…

1. GraceSmith

Freelance web designer in Northern Ireland, Grace epitomizes the twitter experience. Not only a great designer, as well as one-woman graphic design link feed, she’s also one of the most engaging, and approachable twitter-ers I’ve had the pleasure to meet. If you’re a web designer, or just a web-geek she’s definitely worth a follow. One of my favorite tweets:

You can tell i am not a digger lol If that post goes popular im going to run down my road shouting I got Digged lmao
