Which Knoxvillians Do You Want to See on Twitter?
17Apr2009 Filed under: KFQ, Popular, Questions Author: Michael Wender
Is there someone missing from the list of people you follow on Twitter? Do we need to encourage other Knoxvillians to start Twittering?
In keeping with our recent KFQ social media/Twitter themes (see here and here), I wanted to ask you which Knoxvillians you would like to see on Twitter. I’ve got a couple in mind, but before I wade in, I wanted to see who you would suggest.
Which Knoxvillians would you like to start using Twitter in 2009?

I’d like to see all local business owners on Twitter. In fact, we should compile a list of local Knoxville businesses using Twitter for Knoxify! (I’ll do this today.)

I’d like to see more local attorneys and law students participating

Oh and also the Knoxville Track Club would be a really cool thing to have, to give updates on upcoming races, etc…

@Patrick Beeson: Sweet! Can’t wait to see that list.
If small businesses aren’t on it, they should be. Great way to connect with a certain sect of your customer base.

I’ve got a form up to help list all Knoxville businesses using Twitter: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=cHdTNnNQaERRYTVwWWRfQmw3S2luT2c6MA..
Help fill it out, and we’ll share on this site for all to use.

@Patrick Beeson: Do you have a URL of your spreadsheet for a public “read-only” view? That might help in preventing duplicate submissions.
For example, via this tweet from @svandyke, I just learned that Ruth’s Chris Knoxville is on Twitter (@RCSHknoxville). Have they been added yet?

@Jonathan Haskell: I’d also love to give a follow to @SamVenable and, rest his soul, if he were still alive: @THE_REAL_CAS_WALKER.

@Michael Wender: I second the Cas Walker suggestion.

Ok…I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but you do the math. Twitter account @CoachBrucePearl appeared on April 29.

@Jonathan Haskell: Like thousands of other Knoxvillian’s, I’m sure Bruce reads Knoxify on a daily basis. Given that, we probably helped stir his pot to jump on the Twitter bandwagon. Most Influential Bloggers in Knoxville — yeah, that would be us.

@Patrick Beeson: I’m a local business on twitter and just found this site. If you ever compiled a list I’d love to be added for Fox Fitness: http://www.twitter.com/beckyfoxfitness

I would like to see some bars and restaurants on twitter, tweeting all their specials…
