Building the Best Twitter Lists

By Jason Boog 

twittercrash.jpgThe GalleyCat Twitter feed is an excellent reading list, stocked with the collective wisdom of Twitter’s brightest publishing minds. Still, the unfiltered feed can seem a little daunting.

In an ongoing effort to make the GalleyCat Twitter feed more user friendly, we are building a few fancy new Twitter lists that will break the thousands of publishing posts we read every week into curated collections. For instance, this GalleyCat editor compiled a list collecting the 140-character wisdom of the speakers at the upcoming mediabistro.com eBook Summit.

We will also build Twitter lists around a number of major GalleyCat themes, so write @GalleyCat with your suggestions for each list. When the process has concluded, these links will be live: Best Digital Book Twitter Feeds, Best Agent Twitter Feeds, Best Book Publicity Agent Feeds, Best Writing Advice Twitter Feeds, Best Publisher Twitter Feeds, and Best Publishing News Twitter Feeds. If you think there is a major topic missing, feel free to send those suggestions to @GalleyCat. Editor’s note: Thanks to P.D. Smith, we will add a Best Author Twitter Feeds list.
