Top 300 Twitter Users in Charlotte, NC

August 18th, 2009

Who uses Twitter in Charlotte, North Carolina?

In preparation for the Social Fresh conference next week, I thought I would revise my list from last year. As I got going, it was too easy to come up with a top 100. (Which was not easy last year.) So I’ve expanded it to 300!

NOTE: After just one day, the list went from 211 to 300. Leave a comment below if I missed you.

This year it’s broken up into Marketers, Other people, Businesses, & Sports.

I’ve tried to only include only those that are actively using Twitter. If you don’t see someone who should be on the list, check the bottom of this post on how to get it added.

ARE WE MISSING SOMEONE?
Sorry! It’s hard to list everyone. But you should know that this is my personal list, not a complete list. As such, I’m not including what I call the 6 P’s —> Pills, Porn, Poker, Profanity, Politics, and Preachers. Please don’t take offense. It’s just a personal policy.

Otherwise, please let me know who I’m missing. You can leave a comment below and/or catch me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/CoreyCreed.

Hi, Corey. Thank you for including me on your list! Although to be fair, I guess SOMEone should create the “Pills, Porn, Poker, Profanity, Politics, and Preachers” list too. After all, Twitter’s not all Serious Business…if you’re not having fun, then you’re doing it wrong. Looking forward to seeing you at Social Fresh! Thanks, Lyell.

Thanks Corey! Welcome back from summer break. Looking forward to your future newsletters and information in the SEO / Internet Marketing world! A bit interested in future snow report as well

Thanks for including me on the list!

We’re fortunate to have a very strong Twitter community in Charlotte. I encourage everyone to use Twitter to make real connections and help strengthen our community through efforts like @CLTMission #cltmission.

Corey-

Thanks for including me. I feel young again…#40 (ha).

Consider @WendyWells here in Charlotte too (I’m biased). Great copywriter, web content and blogger.

And a shameless plug for my Charlotte based radio show … @ENDsessions

This list you’ve made clears you for any #FollowFriday obligations for the next few years I think.

See you at SoFresh.

Jason just sent over @ClickitGolf and @InsidePanthers. That should bring the list up to 300.

Anyone have more?

Hi Corey,
Thanks for taking time to post this! I’ve been going through my now-multiple Twitter accounts, trying to separate the business from personal and also, trying to find the “good” followers amidst a recent rush of them. Your list will help me substantially.

I must be an Ocelot

Corey:

Thanks for including me on your list here at the blog! I didn’t know I was here. I appreciate it. You and lots of the people here on are my Charlotte Twitter list. I look forward to meeting seeing on this list and mine in 2010!
http://www.JazzCarolina.webs.com Charlene Bisiada

@JazzCarolina – Jazzercise in Ballantyne and Rock Hill. Please add me to the list. Thanks!
@benmarvin

So I guess the only reason I’m not on this list is because my Twitter Grade is higher than yours. If you don’t wanna add me, then you can go ahead and remove @485sucks and @CLTspeedtrap, because those are my accounts too.
@benmarvin

Also, I’ve seen @RichTucker tweet about poker, and many of those others on your list use profanity, so you better double check your standards.

Please add @CharlotteSpa to the Business list. Thanks!!
