So, I saw this post earlier today on TwiTip and it's follow up post which can be found here on the topic of top Twitter users to follow, specifically if you fit into a certain niche. 

As a college student and frequent Twitter user who is really into technology, I could definitely put together a list of Twitter users I find useful to follow.  This top 10 isn't sorted in a specific order, but instead as ten solid users anyone who is into tech and of college age should follow.

@zappos - Zappos may have the best service of any company in the nation and Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh gives great commentary on how he does it through his Twitter account.
@cnn - Definitely worth having for mobile updates.  It's hip to stay informed and CNN's Twitter will keep you up to date with all important news headlines.
@pleasedressme - PleaseDress.me may change how we buy clothes in the future.  Definitely worth keeping up with the future of online sales.
@mashable - Mashable has all the greatest stories on web start-ups and is definitely worth keeping up with if you want to be on top of all the latest web trends.
@problogger - Darren at ProBlogger writes the best content for anyone who keeps a blog.  If you want to be successful at blogging (or the internet in general), you need to read his posts.
@cobracommander - With recent tweets like "Used Bluetooth headset during conference call today. Was informed later that it was clearly evident I was sitting on a toilet during meeting", CobraCommander delivers great comic relief between serious tweets.
@tinybuddha - Nothing makes my day more than getting a tinybuddha tweet on my cellphone.  Great quotes which can really apply to everyday life.  I only wish the account would tweet a little more often.
@kevinrose - Kevin Rose is what every guy like me (nerd into blogging and web stuff) wants to be.
@peterrojas - Peter has been the man behind Engadget, Joystiq, RCRD LBL, Gizmodo and more.  This guy knows his stuff and is definitely worth a follow.
@nikolez - Every nerdy guy needs to know a nerdy girl who makes us feel a little more comfortable about our livestyles and to give us hope that we may one day have a chance with a female.  NikoleZ is cute, hip, and can give us hope that we may one day find a girl who enjoys our ability to hum the Tetris theme.
@cameronbanga - I know this is number 11 but I had to include myself in my list.  I'm cool, right?  I really don't know how to classify my posts but I do know that my posts contain no MSG or preservatives. 

Did I forget anyone?  Let me know by sending me an e-mail to Cameron@CameronBanga.com.

I'm currently sitting at what is quickly becoming one of my favorite coffee shops (Spill the Beans in Merrillville, IN) and just can't find any motivation at all.  I've had this problem all Thanksgiving break and I really don't know what is wrong with me.  Hopefully a quick blogpost will get me in the mood to write an economics paper.

Here are a couple links which will hopefully spark your interest.

Been listening to The Escape Frame's self-titled LP.  We have The Hideout spinning at the station and it's the best track, so take a listen.

A couple of my friends signed up for Twitter, so show them some love.  Check out @hcassin, @nathanbanga, @irbylgerbil, @jeff_vu, and @peglegmeg.

Been checking out a bunch of cool blogs lately and you should definitely take a look into them as well.  Zappos's Life Coach blog, Treehugger, and Matt Green's blog are all real great reads.

Alright, now that this is out of my system I can only hope that my paper on trade agreements and their impact on the Austrailan economy writes itself.

Hey everyone,

I have been sitting around at WVUR for a basketball broadcast and figured, what better time to do some updates to my website?

The format and overall look hasn't changed a whole bunch, but there are some changes of note. In the navigation menu to your right, you should now find my résumé. I've kept my recent tweets available for viewing and I would love for you to follow me if you use the service. I've also added a list of blogs I follow and the ability to follow this blog with your RSS reader. As another small addition, I added this widget which lists gives the name of people who enjoy my blog and follow it. I would love to see the names of everyone reading this content I spend time on, so I hope you all check that out and say you follow my blog so that I can check out your blogs or websites as well.

I hope that not all the changes to this blog are cosmetic. I began using Flock as a web browser today and I hope that leads to a couple more posts here and there. The browser makes it real easy to post entries, add pictures, link to cool stories, etc, so I hope to make use of the features and keep entries a little more frequent.

I know, I'm as shocked as you are. As always, send your comments or suggestions to Cameron@CameronBanga.com and I'll be sure to check them out and try to message you back. Definitely let me know what you think about the changes.

Hey everyone,

I know it's been a while since the last post and I wish I could bring better news, but I must inform everyone of a few things which may disappoint.

I know several of you were looking forward to a Four48 marathon this Sunday and I'm going to have to let you all down and let you know that we won't be having an event as planned.

It's not that we didn't try, it's just that a bunch of factors (both technical and timing) didn't work in our favor. Frankly, we wouldn't have enough Four48ers and there were some computer problems we would have to overcome and I just don't feel like we could have provided an interesting or entertaining marathon. It wouldn't be up to Four48 quality standards (as low as those standards may be haha) and the team wasn't cool with that.

Sorry to disappoint anyone who was really looking forward to it, because I was really looking forward to it myself. I really enjoy these things and would have loved to do a 10 year celebration of Ocarina of Time.

As for when the team will be back next, it's a little early to speculate. I would bet that if anything was to occur, it would maybe be in early January, but that would just be speculation.
