If you were stranded on a desert island, what 5 twitterers would you follow? Here are mine.

Dear Reader,
Over at the Small Business Idea Forum, Staci asked about twitter and I replied. This, along with a couple of other things today are pointing me towards a blog post and possible a podcast this weekend.

I help a lot of small business owners with a variety of projects. One thing that is true with most small businesses is that do not have a full time IT staff member and therefore rely on contractors and vendors for IT advice, especially when it comes to their web site.
