If you’re a Twitter user, then I’m sure by now you’ve seen the weekly #ff hashtag show up. The tag, which is a shortened form of #followfriday, indicates the Tweeter’s (Twitterer? Tweetist?) showcase of recommended people to follow. Our team at SideQuesting follows several great people in the gaming industry, from journalists to developers, critics to other gamers, and we’d love to share these folks with you.
Each week, we’ll plan on selecting one interesting person in the industry to follow on Twitter for a variety of reasons. Consider this the ultimate highest honor for an individual who likes to spam about the Grammys, or for someone who’s Raptr account is their only input into Twitter. Either way, it’s a classy reflection on society. Consider coming back each Friday to see who gets the award.
The SECOND EVER HONORED INDIVIDUAL is Thriftynerd of, surprisingly, Thriftynerd.com.
If you don’t follow Thriftynerd, you probably should. Sure, there are several websites out there that tweet about the latest game deals, but TN does a great job of catching those deals that these sites miss, like the now infamous “Alan Wake for a couple bucks” Amazon deal.
Whether he’s tweeting about beer/gaming peripherals or how PAX swag leads to obesity, Michael constantly does justice to gamers via Twitter (and his site). I’ve already snagged a couple incredible deals because of his relentless work.
Thrifty Nerd, hold your head up high today. You’ve accomplished this week’s HIGHEST HONOR GIVEN TO A HUMAN.
