After making hundreds of #FollowFriday recommendations on Twitter over the last several months, it finally dawned on us to integrate our #FF efforts into this nifty WordPress.com weblog we contribute to several times each week.
Last week’s feature focused on America’s most popular online newspaper — New York Times — and was so well received that we were able to justify making a “trend” out of our weekly #FollowFriday tweets finding a more glorified home on our WordPress weblog.
In today’s posting, we will not only share this week’s featured #FollowFriday account, @twitter, but also take our readers in for a closer look at twenty five of the three hundred forty six Twitter accounts @twitter is currently following … a mirror, if you will, into the soul(-cial media) of the “SMS of the Internet”.
Yep. We just said it … “soulcial media”. We also said “SMS of the internet” in the same sentence.

@twitter: Always wondering what’s happening.
Watching @ev and @Zappos talk about building a strong workplace culture – a super important topic as we grow so quickly here @Twitter HQ.
