It has been a busy week. Friday is almost over and I’m just getting to my #FollowFriday post. This week, I figured I list a few people from Connecticut that I enjoy following. There are actually probably three or four different groups of people that I follow from Connecticut. These are people that I’ve met mostly through activism of one sort or another.

@sheilamc7 is the chair of our local board of education. It is great to see a board of ed chair on Twitter. @jcnork is a person that lives the next town over that I met through Twitter. We’ve had coffee together and some good online discussions. He turned me on to a good ice cream shop in a neighboring town.

I actually haven’t met @guiliag yet. I was introduced to her by @jcnork and she has had some great comments. I look forward to checking out a Mexican restaurant that she recommended recently.

@khynes2000 and @fehynes are my wife and youngest daughter. They are both fairly political. My middle daughter is off in college in Virginia, so I left her out of this list. She deserves a special blog post of her own.

I’ve written about @ct94dem before. That’s State Representative Gary Holder-Winfield. He’s doing great stuff with social media and state government and he is well worth the follow.

I think I first met @lonseidman back in 2004. We were both at the Democratic National Convention in Boston that year. He has always done great stuff with social media and is well worth the follow. I don’t remember when I first met @swilmarth, but we’ve often crossed paths and I really like what he does with social media and especially education and politics. @tessa_da_twit and @jrj08 don’t tweet as often. They keep there messages protected. However, if you are friends of them, you should follow them.

So, that’s it for this week’s #FollowFriday. Hopefully I’ll have another good batch next week.
