SCLQ – The Follow List

A few weeks ago, I had a meeting with Twitter.

Not the entire company all at once, but rather one particular person named Claire Diaz-Ortiz. Claire is the head of corporate social innovation and philanthropy at Twitter. She also wrote a book called Twitter for Good  about how you can change the world one tweet at a time. She's got a fascinating story, and it was fun to hear what Twitter is doing to be intentional about helping people. But Claire had one question for me, and this is it:

"Who should we put on the official Twitter Religion list?"

At the top of Twitter, there's a link that says "Who to follow." If you click on that, you can choose a topic list and see a small list that Twitter has cultivated over the last few years of interesting people to follow. If you clicked on "music," for instance, you'd see people like Chris Cornell, Eminem, Jazon Mraz, Coldplay, etc. In social media terms, it's a big deal to be on the list because hundreds of thousands of people see it and follow you as a result.

So now Twitter is going to do a religion list and asked me whom I thought should be on it? Not just from a who has the most followers or is most famous perspective, but who in the world of Christianity is tweeting amazing things, doing amazing things and living a big, loud faith online?

I gave her a long list of suggestions, including my friend @itsalandrews who everyone should follow, but I felt like you might be better equipped to answer the question than I am.

If you use Twitter, who is someone you follow that you'd love to see on the Twitter religion list?

If you don't use Twitter, who is someone you love that you'd like to see on the list?
