In this, the second of my Twitter #followfriday posts, I am recommending some interesting tweeters to follow for history and little-known facts. Each Friday over the next few weeks I will be blogging about the different interest groups I follow, and why.
The origins of #followfriday are explained in my "Twitter Follow Friday" post.

Googled "fun with Tweeters," and this site came up number one. Meant to google "fun with twitter," now that I think about it... Oh well, shalom!
I've noticed a few people hitting this page from similar search phrases. If I could figure out just what info they are looking for I could write a post that better suits
