Nice work creating this list Chris. Don't forget the headlines of ~50 Japan blogs (including Nihongo Notes) direct into your Twitter account by following http://www.twitter.com/Japan_Blogs

@Neil: Thanks, I'm saving Japan_Blogs and other automated Twitterers for a future article :)

Shane · 1 year ago

Great idea to put this list together and thanks for including me - now I have to check to see if I am following everyone :)

Nice list - just followed a bunch of these people :)

Chris Gaunt · 1 year ago

@Koichi: I just knew I'd forget someone... oops! I'm already following you so not sure how I missed you... Anyway, I've added you to the list :)

Alex · 1 year ago

You must read problogger too then, hey? :)

Nice site. I'm looking to kick off some tweets soon myself. I've only just got my foot in the twitter door.

Chris Gaunt · 1 year ago

@Alex: Yep :) Nice blog, I'll add you to the list too

Alex · 1 year ago

Thanks Chris. Is there some neologism to describe being linked to in twitter? Like should I say, "Thanks for twitting me"? "I've been twitted."

PJ · 1 year ago

Thanks for including me on the list!

@Alex: Peoples updates are referred to as tweets, so I'd probably say "Thanks for tweeting about me" or "I've been tweeted".

Declan KanaKanji.com · 1 year ago

Chris, thanks for the mention.
Great list there and plenty to keep me reading for the next while.

Mike (JapanMike) · 1 year ago

Ooh well thanks! Follow me if you like hearing about crazy grammar conjugations and Japan's minorities! Or about the weather!

yonasu · 1 year ago

So this is where the followers are coming from! I had a bunch of emails from Twitter to read this morning.

Thanks for the add, I'll get back to the list later today and add some of these.

ジェイソン (Jason) · 1 year ago

Thanks for the great list! This should make it even more impossible to keep up with everyone on the net... Won't stop me from trying, though :)

IsshoniVanessa · 1 year ago

Hi Chris, Having been tweeting for a couple weeks but kept thinking 'I must find more Japan type twitterers' to follow, but not really knowing how. Thanks - you've done it for me. Brilliant!

I tweet/blog about Japanese things in London. Mostly events that are easy to miss as they are spread all over the internet, but also articles, interviews, reviews etc.

Would love to join your list.

I'm @IsshoniVanessa

Chris Gaunt · 1 year ago

Glad everyone likes the list :)

@IsshoniVanessa: Added you to the list. Nice site btw, I wish I'd seen it when I was in the UK.

Thanks very much for including me in the list!

I've found Twitter to be such a valuable resource - whether it be discovering interesting, relevant news articles from the people I follow, or simply getting the word out about something I want to raise awareness for.

Personally, I like to sync Twitter to other social networks (facebook, friendfeed, tumblr, etc.) so that the info is automatically blasted to wider audiences, without having to update each one individually.

Great article, Chris! I see a lot of fellow JapanSoc users on here - time to follow up!

Chris, great post!

While I enjoy coming across lists such as yours, a list is often so stale and far from organic in keeping up with new interesting people on twitter. I created http://TopTweeple.com (just 2hrs of development thus far) to help spread the word on these Top Tweeple!

Check it out, and drop some #TopTweeple HashTags in ur tweets!

Cheers,

Hey Chris.

When I was in China we had a Twitter account called @chinalist, and if you wanted to follow China you simply followed everyone that Chinalist was following.

Maybe make a @japanlist twitter account, and follow all the people you just mentioned?

Awesome list though, regardless of format.
Thanks!

@Sarg: I've added you to the list

@Rick: Good idea. I've added you to this list and also put together a JapanList twitter account.

matt holland · 10 months ago

how about a list of interesting twitterers that actually post in Japanese? wouldn't that be more useful for someone trying to learn it?

Chris Gaunt · 10 months ago

Hi matt, You are right and that's why I also created an article for Top Japanese language twitterers to help you learn Japanese.

matt holland · 10 months ago

Chris,

SWEET!

that's exactly what i was googling for when i found this article. thanks!!!

I hadn't thought of using twitter search. That's probably the best way. Just search for a topic in Japanese that interests you and off you go...

dshack · 10 months ago

I'd love to get on there, if you don't mind. My stream is mostly student-life-in-tokyo stuff, with a few social media thoughts, Japanese posts, and random tokyo happenings tossed in.

Ah! My twitter changed! It's now @michael_downey!

Chris Gaunt · 9 months ago

Updated :)

GoodPeopleJapan · 9 months ago

Nice Chris.
Great to meet you last night.
I've been using @Good_people but would rather develop one I have waiting for when I have time to develop at least a core of relevant information to my Group GoodPeople Japan. Of course it is:
@goodpeopleJapan
I'll get to work on connecting with anyone I haven't already next!

Great list. I read a few of these blogs, but am not following any of the twitters.
