As those loyal readers will know yesterday saw the Observer print a supplement entitled Generation Next which profiled 500 of the up and coming talents in the UK across a range of disciplines (and yes, I was in it, which is why I’m blogging about it ;-) ).
Unfortunately the online implementation seems to have stumbled a little. As part of the award all members get access to an online networking site where we can presumably all chat and market heavily to each other, cool! The only problem is that we haven’t yet got access to this online network. This, coupled with the fact that my previous blog post ranked quite well for related terms meant that it became the place to hang out and chat - leading to over 23 comments so far.
Then when I got into the office this morning I twittered about it and ran a few twitter searches to see if anyone else who’d become a member this year was on twitter. Turns out there’s loads of us on twitter!!
#The Twitter 500
So, without further ado, here’s a quick list of twitter accounts for winners that I’ve been able to find:
- @aeioux
- @willharris
- @wigadoo
- @ralvin
- @dancingwombat
- @peteashton
- @johnxela (wow, I’m a big fan of Xela and Helios!)
- @trustedplaces (a client as well as it happens, hi Sokratis!)
- @rajanand (looks like we have a thing or two in common - we should talk!)
- @AndyCockburn
- @willcritchlow (technically in last years but I’ll make an exception since he’s my bro)
- @gandy
- @wikijob
- @iansanders
If you find any more people on twitter please let me know and I’ll add them into the list! I look forward to meeting you all on Thursday :-)
Wonder if any of the rest of last year's crew are on there too.
I'll start.
Me: @willcritchlow
Andy Gibson (school of everything): @gandy
A guy that I did some work with in a previous life was on the list with Will last year, Ian Sanders: http://twitter.com/IanSanders
