This is a list of my favorite local people and businesses on Twitter. Most are from Regina but there are a few gems from Saskatoon and else where.
For the people I know on Twitter, I put a note beside their name as to what they are about or why you should follow them. I hope this list proves to be helpful the next time one of your friends thinks no one locally is Tweetin’.
If I’ve some how missed you on the list throw your name in the comments or Tweet me, @JephMaystruck
I believe the best part about Twitter is the local scene, so to all my followers thanks for such an inspiring ride.
Enjoy!
Lise Merle – @lisemerle – Arguably the funniest person on Twitter.
Brooke Paterson – @brookepatersonn – I feel terrible I left her out of the list initially. I met Brooke via Twitter and it blossomed into a beautiful friendship, then I forgot to put her on this list. Now she’s mad and I will try anything to gain her respect back. Brooke, please don’t be mad! PS: She has the coolest glasses I’ve ever seen, ever.
