At the suggestion of master blogger Chris Brogan, I’m going to start linking my Follow Friday tweets to a blog post that explains why I think you should follow the persons in my follow Friday list. So, without further ado . . . . . .

Follow Friday for Apr 16, 2010

Thoughtcast Podcast (@thoughtcast) – This  podcast is produced by veteran reporter Jenny Attiyeh, and covers a wide range of intellectual thought topics. Many of the podcasts have been rebroadcasted on NPR stations throughout New England. While it is a great podcast, my reasons for including @thoughtcast on my #FF list are also a bit self-serving, as I am now the voice of the @thoughtcast Twitter stream.

Unhappy Hipsters (@unhappyhipsters) – A Tumbler photo blog that first appeared in January, this site gives me a daily dose of hysterics by adding a snarky caption to a photo from Dwell magazine, an Australian design magazine that features mid-century modern architecture.  Add it to your daily click, or wait until their tweets appear in your feed, and just click from there.

Carri Bugbee (@carribugbee) – Carri is a social media dynamo based in Portland, Oregon. She has an impressive list of Twitter followers, teaches social media at a local college, runs or is involved with several social media meet-up groups, manages her own PR firm, and is the Twitter voice of Peggy Olson (@peggyolson) of TV’s Mad Men. In her spare time she sings locally in area jazz clubs. How do I know her? Long before Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was even a gleam in his father’s eye, Carri and I toured nationally as members of a variety music show band. Read more about Carri’s award-winning Peggy Olson tweets here.
