I’ve recently converted to Twitter. I’ve always enjoyed updating my facebook status and now I get to do it my mobile (or while I’m supposed to be at work). Here I am.

I like the format, the 140 character limit and the instantaneous nature of the updates. So I just have one question. What should I twitter about?

Anybody with followers on Twitter are either famous (I’ve chosen a famous Brit that I hope you recognise) or are offering some kind of service. What do I do if I can offer neither of these things?

Okay, so I’m kind of happy to follow a few other people that I find interesting, but I’m not a follower, I’m a leader! I just point me in the direction of a topic to lead on!

I’ve put a few tweets on there about my ride to work (time, attire and instances of near death) so I could run with that.

I’ve put a few tweets on that are surreal in nature, but grounded in my flawed understanding of Physics, so that could be the way forward.

A friend of mine already stole my other idea. He’s twittering about his life as a zombie/living amongst zombies.

So what should I do, use one of these ideas, or twitter on another topic of your bidding? I await your ideas with baited breath.

There are a large number of book publishers on twitter and it’s quite revealing to follow them, so if I’m not interesting enough I’ll just have to do it on behalf of Egmont.
