Who I follow; YMMV

Since lists of people you should follow seem de rigueur lately, I thought I'd throw out my own list. Is it definitive? Hell no. Is it organized? Hardly. These are poeple whose online posts/blogs/tweets/whatever seem consistently interesting and entertaining. Do with them as you will.

Wil Wheaton

Whether on twitter (@wilw), or on his blog WWdN: In Exile, Wil is funny, intelligent, a geek guru and a damn nice guy. In addition, gamers and Trekkers alike will find plenty of inside baseball to amuse themselves with.

Kevin Smith

Kevin Smith is a polarizing figure for some people. I love his stuff; some of my friends can't stand him. Luckily, their tastes don't matter here. Kevin is funny as hell. Twitter @ThatKevinSmith, or better yet, head over to ViewAskew.com.

Felicia Day

Ok, guys. She created The Guild, one of the best online series ever. She had a starring role in Dr. Horrible. She's a gamer. But that's not all. She's also insanely funny. Twitter @feliciaday.

Kat Robinson

A little more local, Kat blogs about food and travel in and around Arkansas. And she knows what she's talking about. If you want to find someplace good to eat nearly anywhere in the midsouth, if she hasn't reviewed it already she probably has it on her list. Give her a few years, and shell be writing for Conde Nast or Food & Wine. One to watch. http://www.tiedyetravels.com

Penn Jillette

Better known as the more-vocal half of Penn & Teller, Penn Jillette is one of my favorite misanthropes. I don't always agree with everything he says, but the man usually makes a good point. I follow both @pennjillette and @PennSays. Enjoy the ride.

Stephen Fry

A friend of mine turned me on to Stephen Fry a while back. Before that, I only knew him as the voice of the original Hitchhiker's Guide audiobooks (a role he sort-of reprised as the voice of the Guide in the movie). Fry is also a brilliant humorist (definitly listen to the Podgrams), supporter of Open Source software, and actor. Check him out at http://www.stephenfry.com, or on Twitter @stephenfry.

Neil Gaiman

If you don't know who Neil Gaiman is, get out of the hole and get thee to a library. From children's books like Coraline and Blueberry Girl, to Adult Fiction such as American Gods and Good Omens (with Terry Pratchett), to the now-legendary Sandman series of graphic novels, Neil Gaiman is a brilliant writer. Not to mention the movies he has inspired and/or written. His online presence is equally entertaining. Just read to his inspired thoughts on why George R. R. Martin is not your bitch; if you're not hooked after that, there is no hope. Twitter @neilhimself, or read his blog at http://journal.neilgaiman.com/.
