Cool SQL People that I Follow on Twitter

Posted by Jason on Monday, August 18, 2008 to

This is an update to a previous post. I do believe the next version will be an automated web app and as I mentioned it suck that twitter does not have group functionality. The whole idea behind this is to build a stronger community. There is a lot of .Net people but DBA's seem to be slow adopters. Maybe a SQL Server Pro who just joined twitter runs across this post and now they have a instant network where he\she can see the value of twitter before the interest wanes. Don't forget to follow me too!

Here is the original post.

If you don't know what twitter is, click here for the wiki entry or here for a nice video primer. In a nutshell, it is blogging meets IM. I like it so I will link to interesting SQL people that I follow. edit:BrentO just did a twitter 101 post.

There's going to be a time (soon) when the signal is going to get overwhelming in here. There are already a lot of really awesome SQL people on Twitter - now looking at this list, I'm saying to myself, wow, I'm going to be following 200 people soon. And I'm really picky!

The link is off for PSwaters - should be http://twitter.com/pswaters instead of /paulswaters. Otherwise a flawless list, sir! Just added a ton of peeps to my list.

It was really hard to find the right people to follow when I tweeting. I basically build my twitter around @statisticsIO & @BrentO. I followed their sql-related tweets and and followed the people they're following.

firstly, if anyone cares, i'm a DBA twittering mostly irrelevant gumf at http://twitter.com/scottherbert.

Secondly, time to start moderating comments! Although "Hugest Prat Wives" is pretty humourous.
