You really have to mention the bizarre @brentspiner tweets. He’s either doing some kind of weird roleplay-via-twitter or, on the other hand – maybe he really murdered bob.
…And of course you have Wil Wheaton tweeting, who not only doesn’t follow anyone elses tweets, but uses Twitter to babble incoherently. I suppose it’s an attempt to extract revenge against anyone foolish to follow his Tweets who also despised Wesley Crusher enough to hope Worf *did* “tuck him into bed”.
There’s also a random mid-level science officer tooting: http://twitter.com/Sci_Officer_Log
pretty funny.
I set up an account a while back that follows most all the Trek characters on Twitter, and syndicates some of them into RSS feeds based on time period: http://twitter.com/subspacescanner
I haven’t updated who it follows for a while, so its not up-to-date, but it still covers most of the Trek characters on Twitter.
@om
If Wil Wheaton followed everybody who followed him, his feed would be so full of junk that it wouldn’t be useful to him for anything.
Twitter is supposed to be a place where you can say what you want to say, and people who want to hear it can tune in. If some irrelevant notion of common courtesy dictates that followers must be followed in turn, feeds get full of garbage, Twitter devolves into write-only instant messaging, and the whole model breaks down.
