The Twitter Accounts You Should Be Following | TEDxSoweto

We’ve been hard at work

Truth is, we’ve been really slack these days. But modern life in Johannesburg can get really, really tough for a bunch of rural dwellars like us. So much has happened since our last post and our regular 7 readers have been kept in the dark about so many cool new things. We attended the Tech4Africa conference in Sunninghill; Matts erratic views on politics got him into some trouble with readers at News 24; we’re getting kicked out of our Braamfontein loft and heading for the rural – really rural – suburbs on the outskirts of the Kalahari desert in a place they call “the Eastrand”; I got a freelance gig trying to pose as an important industry writer at 10and5.com; and generally, alot of messed up things happened.

Working hard is great, being lazy sometimes is great, but failed potential is the worst – Campbell Scott

But as the cool and origional writers we are, we’ve been alerted that TEDxSoweto will be in town this week and have gathered  a list of the speakers and their Twitter accounts. So why not just use this as an oppurtunity to share some advise on The Twitter Accounts You Should Be Following. Alll the following information was compiled by the good people at TEDxSoweto and in true African mentality (or unAnfrican, depending on which South African president you prefer), we took the list from the TED website and posted it on our own site – and thus we expect to take full credit for our sheer ingenious.

So lets break it down like hot girls to a monster…
