Since then a new concept called Twitter Lists has also been introduced and @IABC is duly listed on 188 of those. Great way to find interesting people and chapters to follow.
Just in case you’d rather not dig through the thousands, we’ve compiled a small quick list of our own for you. It has the key IABC members we think you might benefit from following in 2010 (in no particular order):
