Does anyone in here use Twitter? If so, who do you follow. I have an account @TXRiverRunner
Drop me your handle and I will follow you. Any recommendations on who is good to follow?
 
I use twitter but I don't tweet anything and the users I follow have absolutely nothing to do with any type of paddling.
 
For any kind of dialog or discussion, twitter is more or less like the men's room wall with less latency. However, for mostly one-way communication of time sensitive facts it has some merit. My favorite feed is @NWSCaribou, the National Weather Service office that covers most of Maine. Right now they are telling me it's going to be 70 degrees F this weekend and I'd be a fool not to go paddling.
 
I never joined twitter, but. I do like Instagram. I like the fact that I can follow folks with like interests like canoes, some military stuff and hunting/ fishing here in Maine.
I have a little game, if a person posts pictures of a canoe with a kayak in it, or maybe even a double blade, I put them on secret probation followed by secret final warning, then the ultimate “unfollow this account”. Oh, the power!
Some folks here have said they don’t like the “like” button (I forgot his name;)), but I really like handing out the like buttons, and I don’t mind receiving. My pb (personal best) is 750 likes, folks seem to “like” the wood canvas canoe, lots of likes and comments. I follow a lot of wood canvas canoe trippers/builders/restorers, guys who love the old gear, Bridger types as CEW labeled us. And they follow me, I’m closing in on 1500.

Hmmm, Instagram ya say. How many hours can I spend on that a week? I'll have to check it out, don't know the first thing about it. I assumed it was like tic toc, my Grandkid likes that.
 
Site rule: "Absolutely no politics."

If folks can discuss Twitter while following this rule, okay, even though it is somewhat marginal. If folks can't, I'll end it.
Not at all wanting to be political. I was thinking along the lines of manufacturers like Wenonah, Novacraft, Bending Branches, or parks type accounts. Those are the kinds of accounts I have followed so far, but they don't post a lot.
