The final installment in my look at my twitter follow list will center on the "news" feeds that I follow. These are by no means the be all end all of the twitter news options out there...but these are the few that I follow on a daily basis and if you consider yourself a geek/techo nerd some of them you should follow too.
Gizmodo -- @gizmodo
Get the latest news on everything tech related. From the newest computer games, to the newest video game. They were also one of the first sites to point out the antenna problem with the iPhone 4. If it wasn't for this Twitter feed I probably wouldn't have ended up with the free bumber case I have on my phone.
Den of Geek -- @dennofgeek
A great British site that is devoted to all things geek. If you are a fan of: Comics, TV shows, movies and games then give them a shot. Also, I suggest adding the full site to your reading list. It's and easy way to kill a few hours at work. Fans of Dr.Who, Torchwood and all things British comedy/sci fi should find this site to their liking. With daily gossip on what's going on in Hollywood and beyond making the Twitter feed and site a daily addition is a good idea!
SyFy -- @blastr
Updates on all the goings on in the Syfy world. Not just limited to the Syfy channel. Here you will find rumors on upcoming projects. Pictures from set and all manner of trailers. If you miss a week you can also tune into their weekly review where they look at not only the top stories...but the top reader comments to those stories. Maybe they'll make you famous! (I also reccomend the iPhone app)
CNN breaking news -- @cnnbrk
Always at work? Not always in a place where you can keep up with the world around you? Well, try to follow this feed and set up mobile alerts and you will never miss a celebrity death, war/coup, or crazy weather event.
Mental Floss -- @mental_floss
Talk about learning things you never knew you needed to know! Ever wondered what the rarest video game is? How about famous killers who were executed even though the people they were conviced of killing later turned up alive? If stories like that and enough geek related quizzes to make your mind spin is what gets you though your day then you probably already follow them and their site...and get the magazine. If you do stop in make sure to say hello to my buddy Rob who writes for them. (he can also be found on Twitter @spacemonkeyx )
Geeks are Sexy -- @geeksaresexy
Geeks are sexy. Even if other people won't admit it. Links from this site will take you to engaging articles like: Tongue Wrestle Mania: The Art and Science of French Kissing, Dungeons & Dragons: A Threat to Prison Security?, and The Truth about Infographics! How can you go wrong?
