Now I am a big fan of the movie blog /Film. They are very fast and very informative with all sorts of movie news. They have a reoccurring story on their blog where they attempt to have a definitive list of all the celebrities that are on Twitter. Now for all of you who don’t know yet, Twitter is like a blog but you only have 140 characters to write something. It can be quite entertaining when you have someone like Jason Reitman giving updates on post-production of his new movie or comedian Michael Ian Black giving brief jokes.
Yet you know who Twitter really seems made for? No not boring teenagers who think updates like “I’m b0red!!!4!” are insightful. Writers! And who are the best kind of writers? Mystery writers! So here I am to try and do what /Film did, but with mystery writers. Now obviously I am missing people; I tried my darndest to get everyone so if you have more links for me, just put them in the comment field and I’ll update this whenever I have new names.
Mystery Authors
More Awesome Mystery People
I know what some of you may be thinking. Am I really an author? Since BoucherCon is being silly and calling me one, I’ll stick with it. Now remember, whenever you find another mystery author on Twitter or you find a link that doesn’t work leave me a comment or shoot me an email.
This is great, Austin! Now I can nab all the people I want to follow in one place! ;-)

ReplyDeleteAs we all know, twitter is a social network very informative, is focusing most of all to information of mutual interest, leaving aside the orientation that has a site like Facebook or Hi5, twitter is a very useful to many professionals.
ReplyDeleteI want to know who created Twitter, nobody knows who is the creator of this social Network.
