The ultimate UK accountancy List is super useful, I was just going to make time to follow all the Twitter accounts and then I saw the list. Cheers.

This is a great idea! I’ve been trying to add people’s twitter accounts into my posts when I mention them in my weekly mashups, but I hadn’t thought of a twitter contact page like this. I’ll be bookmarking this page to refer back to in my next round of site enhancements. It’s a fantastic way to show a little twitter love.
Hi Brad, thank you for you comment, very glad to see you here.
I too try to include both a link to an article and author’s bio page or Twitter account when I mention someone, blow writers shouldn’t be afraid of linking out becuase it “leaks PageRank” (what a dumb idea!).
- thank in advance for the link love.
