TWITTER PERSON MOST LIKELY TO MAKE OUR MORNING A BIT BETTER
The always funny and witty @Slaughter90210
THE PERSON MOST LIKELY TO TWEET SOMETHING NICE ABOUT SOMEBODY ELSE
It’s really no surprise that so many people follow @Emmastraub
FUNNIEST FAKE ACCOUNT FOR A FORMER OBSERVER EDITOR
Sorry @Wise_Kaplan, but we need to give it to @CrankyKaplan
HELPING TO FILL THE SOCCER-SHAPED VOID IN YOUR LIFE POST-WORLD CUP
The intelligent and witty analysis of soccer provided by @SoccerByIves.
RIDICULOUSLY COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE OF ALL THINGS LITERARY
The combination of in-depth interviews and righteous journalism contributed by @DrMabuse.
SMART, CIVIL POLITICAL DEBATE
GIVEN OUR COLLECTIVE FONDNESS FOR ‘THE MELTING SEASON’
It should not be a surprise that we heartily endorse @jamiattenberg’s feed as well.
SURREAL MISSIVES FROM SMART FOLKS
The trifecta of @grayamelia, @blakebutler, and @warrenellis.
BEST TWITTER ACCOUNTS TO EXPECT SWEET RETWEETS FROM
It’s a tie between @Largeheartedboy and @electriclit
FAVORITE BOOKSTORE TWITTER ACCOUNT
Also a tie between @WORDBrooklyn @Mcnallyjackson and @Housingworksbks. Especially when they get in weird Twitter squabbles.
IF THE INDIE PUBLISHER THING DOESN’T WORK OUT, THERE’S ALWAYS COMEDY
We like the fact that the only literary things @NYTyrant tweets about usually involves his hatred of Jonathan Franzen.
BEST BOOK GOSSIP
@Galleycat, naturally.
