Authors on Twitter

I recently joined Twitter and started searching for interesting people to follow. As an avid reader, I thought it would be great to find some well-known authors and get to know them better. Unfortunately, this wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. It seems authors are only very slowly gravitating toward the "Twitterverse" and are not yet widely followed. It seemed a good idea to compile a directory. The following will (hopefully) be your one-stop shop for fiction authors on Twitter.

What is Twitter? 

Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length which are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have subscribed to them (known as followers). Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends or, by default, allow anybody to access them. Users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, Short Message Service (SMS) or external applications. The service is free to use over the Internet.

Directory of Authors on Twitter

On each page, you will find the author's names and their twitter IDs (or TWIDs).You will also find a picture, short biography, some book titles, and the last five tweets of each author on Twitter.

FailWhale Official Treats 

Congratulations to Yiying Lu, an artist and a designer in Sydney, Australia. According to The New York Times Magazine (Feb. 12, 2009), Biz Stone, a Twitter founder, was looking for an image to display on the site during a service interruption. He found it on iStockphoto. Created by Lu who called it "Lifting up a Dreamer," it was a whale being lifted by a flock of birds. Twitter users promptly named it the "Fail Whale."
