I'll tell you it's not that we don't have jobs nor is it to just get our mugs on the internet! ;) I am going to share 10 main reasons why I use Twitter: #1 So I can connect with others that are working within the same industry. #2 So I can relate with other people that may struggle in the same job position I have in this fast-paced web world. #3 So I can learn from others about best practices and tools they use - to make my job easier. #4 So I can find out something new and fast via word of mouth of where I live. #5 So I can share what I learn and give back to others. People naturally like to help on Twitter. #6 So I don't feel so lonely working very long hours on the computer. #7 So I can meet interesting new people and possibly meet them in person in future at local events or web world conferences. #8 So I can be entertained and interact on my iPhone because my hubby has taken over the TV (watching Hockey -awk!) . #9 I love eavesdropping. I done it since I was a kid with a cup to the wall and find it fascinating - Twitter is just that. #10 And lastly - yes, once in a while a shameless plug! Which would probably make up 5% of my interactions. If you do more that that it's bad and no one will be your friend and follow you! :) btard has some valid points/questions and many other people have a hard time understanding why people use Twitter.

I am going to share 10 main reasons why I use Twitter:

#1 So I can connect with others that are working within the same industry.

#2 So I can relate with other people that may struggle in the same job position I have in this fast-paced web world.

#3 So I can learn from others about best practices and tools they use – to make my job easier.

#4 So I can find out something new and fast via word of mouth of where I live.

#5 So I can share what I learn and give back to others. People naturally like to help on Twitter.

All top 20 lists are subjective. This is not something that can have an algorithm attached for it, it's very personal and human. Stuff like twitter grader is entertaining but misses the human aspect somewhat. For instance if someone's tweets are engaging, educating, or humorous then how can a google bot or twitter bot measure that? The other day a twitter update by Buzz Bishop interrupted my day due to a laughing fit. I'll keep following him. I am a little biased because I made it on the list, but still if it is 6smarketing's "criteria." Just my opinion of course! :) I would stick to the “Top 20″ title. All top 20 lists are subjective.

I agree with tyfn that the list should be labeled "my favourite twitterers" since there's no real scientific method to the selection madness here. :) Interesting how a good 50% of that list is made up of people who work in some form of web-based marketing or some other promotional capacity…

I'm also very honored to be mentioned! As you very appropriately mention, Twitter allows people to connect with each other within the same industry, and to keep up with Vancouver's burgeoning tech industry. It is people like you, Chris, and like all the awesome Metro Vancouverites who participate in these activities, who make this city vibrant and blossoming. Thanks again!
