I have elected to honestly try and publish my list once per quarter. The timing of this particular list just happens to coincide with the approaching celebration of my 43rd birthday (Monday 7 March). I felt that it is important to celebrate those individuals who have been the highlight of my year. Oddly enough this also marks the approximate second anniversary of my entry into the realm that is called twitter. Therefore you see we have much to celebrate this at this time.
Please allow me to start with those people, also know as tweeple for those of you casual twitter follows whom are unfamiliar with the tweet vernacular, who are very dear to me. These tweeple are important to my daily conversations and interactions. I truthfully can not imagine a day passing without reading what they have to say in my stream. These are the tweeps that interact with me on nearly a daily basis, exchanging jokes, sarcasm, friendly insults and other witticisms. They are the very core of my closetweeps list.

I know what you are thinking that there sure are a lot of names listed there and you would be correct. Some I know by their real names and other only by their handle and avatars. Obviously I could list far many more but these are the ones who bubbled up to the top of the list.
In the next listing I would like to present those friends that are sources of unique information that often resonates with what I am doing on a particular day. They are hugely important to my stream as the provide a constant flow. Please bare in mind that the friends form the previous list could and should be lumped in this list as well it’s just that these are more of a one way receive and retweet kind of relationship where those are more of a bidirectional flow of information.

Finally I would like to take a moment to the celebs that I follow who have either engaged in some sort of short conversation or sent a polite thank you for my support of a common cause. They also happen to be the few that deeply respect and truly value their opinions even if it differs from my own.

Ok I understand that this is a long list but these are the people that directly influence me on routine basis. Certainly I would love to have the conversational list grow and include everyone on it which I feel given the current state of my stream is only a short matter of time.
