That's a great list inp!
Here's a couple I follow:
@tokyobybike and @grist (which sometimes posts stuff on bikes)
I've decided following sports people on Twitter ruins the illusion of their greatness and sporting prowess. I followed Shane Warne, Pup Clarke and Steph Rice and quickly unfollowed them. @warne888 and his banter with Liz really was TMI! Lance is the exception and a couple of retired union players

Smart phones!? Peh.. I prefer mine stupid & subservient.
Geekdom has never been the same since it's been fashionable.

Not quite.. but I am still on my first DSL modem I bought about 7 years ago after taking the leap from Dial-UpCommuRider wrote:Are you still on dial-up HH? I think Twitter's great for dial-up folks. It's the internet on steroids and not too much bandwidth being expended either.
I was on Facebook for a while; but in the end I got about as much satisfaction and enjoyment as I do fighting my way through busy shopping centres of a Saturday morning. I deleted my account deciding the medium was best left to women & teenagers much like the shopping malls.

I remember when I did sign up initially - instantly I had all these invites from people that obviously had my e-mail in their address book that they'd so graciously allowed FB to share. That was 18 months ago and it bugged the crap out of me then.
Facebook : Cheapening the word "Friend" since 2005.

What are those spooks up to now?
"Last December, Facebook announced it was implementing facial recognition technology that will scan images as they're uploaded, find similar images others have uploaded, and suggest name tags based on other tags it found during its scan...
"The bigger problem is tagging itself. Letting other people tag photos can have unforeseen consequences. Say you're a Congressman who likes to post close-ups of himself in his underwear (I'm just picking this example at random). Exactly whose manhood is filling out those BVDs is still a matter of debate at this point. Once somebody tags it with a name, though, we all know whose Weiner it is.
If that's too silly, consider this real-world example. Until recently, I had a photo of a woman's undergarment (not mine) posted to my Facebook page. Without going into too many details, let me assure you it was all pretty innocent. Last week somebody tagged that photo with the name of the person who owned that particular undergarment. Suddenly it's not so innocent. The owner of said brassiere - now mortified that her name was associated with this image -- begged me to remove the photo, which I did. "
I wonder how effective phototagging will be eg plastic surgery. Finding your doppelganger gets weirder and weirder by the minute.

Thanks. @warne888 is getting 'unfollowed' very soon. Didn't have him until recently, getting sick of the garbage. And he's a saints supporterCommuRider wrote:

Lazy journos creating "news" by trawling FB and similar sites annoy me as much as copypasta bloggers chasing pageviews by posting allegedly interesting links at random.

aka Cadel's better half. A marvelous tone: a mix of "innocent abroad", number one fan, and taking the mickey.
