I’ve thought a bit about the concept of Twitter’s Follow Friday, as well as some insightful arguments by friends and decided I would follow their alternative method to suggest Twitter users. Here’s my first list in this series.

1. @mashable (Pete Cashmore): I love Mashable news and the way they deliver them. This account is obviously used to aggregate content posted on mashable.com but Pete often manually updates his timeline. If you’re a web geek or have any interest in social media and the Internet as a whole, be sure to follow him.
2. @rww (Richard MacManus): To follow in the same line of content as mashable, ReadWriteWeb is also a very good source of technology and social media news. Most of Richard’s updates are done via TwitterFeed, but like Cashmore, he often post updates himself.
3. @michaelgeist: Michael Geist is without any question the Canadian copyright laws vigilante. If you have any interest in topics such as freedom of speech, copyright and digital politics, you won’t want to neglect his input.
4. @oggy (Agustín Vazquez-Levi): Agustín is, aside from an excessively entertaining tweeter, an authority in SEO/SMO, Analytics, and digital marketing. If you’re striving to stay on top of these topics in terms of evolution, following Agustín is a great idea.
5. @xutopia (Gary Haran): Frontend ninja, Rails genius and aggressively opinionated  atheist. Entertaining all the way.
6. @afrognthevalley (Sylvain Carle): Sylvain is Montreal’s local web celebrity. CTO of Praized Media, president of Alliance Numérique and Alliance Internet, board member of Île Sans Fil, co-organiser of WordCampMTL and iPhoneDevCamp… and so on. To stay on top of Montreal’s tech events, he’s the one you’ll want to keep track of. He also tweets in French under @sylvaincarle.
7. @evablue (Eva Blue): Eva’s kind of the official photographer for every cool Montreal  events. She’s also quite insightful and fun to talk to/hang with.
8. @TamyEmmaPepin (Tamy Emma Pepin): Hired by Tourisme Montreal to improve Montreal’s digital tourism campaigns, Tamy does quite a good job at sharing interesting Montreal-related information, events and media.
