People You Wish Were On Twitter (But Aren't)
Posted by Paolo Meccano on 30 September 2010 - 4:57pm.
1 - Brian Eno: Who among us wouldn't be interested in finding out what he was up to? I also suspect he'd give Stephen Bleeding Fry a run for his money when it came to attracting followers.
2 - Bob Mortimer: The effortlessly funny half of the partnership. Twitter needs him, if only to save us from all the comedy panel show landfill on there.
Erm, that's it.
Any other suggestions?

Peter Cook...
...it would have suited his style perfectly.
Amongst the living, Woody Allen, HRH Prince Charles (imagine that!) and Michael Stipe.
Prince Philip
I imagine would give good tweet
Stephen Fry.
He's everywhere else and an Apple fan. I'm surprised he's not on Twitter...

Marcel Marceau
Nigel Blackwell
from Half Man Half Biscuit. Would love to get an insight into his day to day life.
Also - NOel Gallagher.
And the Queen.... oh hang on http://twitter.com/queen_uk
That's not the Queen!
This is: http://twitter.com/thefuckingqueen
Clive James, Mohammed Ali, G Marx, B Hicks, J Strummer, Q. Crisp
Clive's well into the internet, but no twitter account. Shame.
I guess that Ali would TWEET IN CAPITALS.
Groucho would be a quotable tweets machine, and retweeted worldwide.
You'd look to Hicks after any big news stories.
Strummer would get us all fired up, flashmobbing Primark or something.
Quentin Crisp would loathe it all, but couldn't resist an audience.
As for musicians, Tom Waits (himself, not just quotes), Dylan, Randy Newman, Ian Hunter, Dave Lee Roth, Shane MacGowan...
Kurt Vonnegut
Truman Capote
Kenneth Williams
Oliver Reed - though I suspect it might end up like this one: http://twitter.com/Nick_Nolte
On a similar tack to Mr Nolte:
Ted Nugent
Jeffrey Bernard
Charles Bukowski
Patrick Crowther
...?
!!!
Twitter? Me?! Jeez, I never even got round to My Space or Facebook!
Life is complicated enough as it is.
Er...
Bob Dylan
David Byrne
Stephen Merchant
Neil Young
Leonard Cohen
Martin Scorsese
The Coen Brothers
Most of my friends
Jerry Lee Lewis
I hate Twitter.
I do read the odd one, but it gets right on my nerves.
Emma Thompson
I would. Read her Tweets, that is.
Is this the coining
of a new euphemism I see before me?
No mention of the master
of the bon mot, and Mr Fry's spiritual great-grandfather, Oscar Wilde?
Who else but
Mark E Smith.
Ken Dodd
What a great day for (fill in additional 120 characters)
I think...
...he is (or was) actually on Twitter.
Sooty
and Sweep
Just thought I'd bump this...
...to mention that both Eno and Bob Mortimer *are* now on Twitter at @Brianenoreal and @RealBobMortimer respectively :-)
No names.
The guy I sit next to at work, who spouts racist views all day. He needs taking down a peg or two.
Why don't you register...
...@shitemycoworkersays?
Oh, go on ;-)
