Hidden among those who tweet their every brainfart, there’s a rich vein of tweeters who actually have things of interest to share. Here are six to follow

Do Top Twitter Tips

And how not to behave

1.    Don’t retweet compliments

This is like walking down the street bellowing quotes from your school reports through a megaphone.

2.    Don’t beg for RTs from celebs

Having your life validated online by a celebrity is a bit like rewarding a dog for not wiping its bum on the sofa. You’re better than that. We hope.

3.    Don’t be an internet warrior

You wouldn’t walk up to someone in the street and tell them you don’t like their face so why do it on Twitter?

4.    Don’t hashtag everything

Very tedious. Not everything needs to be reduced to a slogan. Signing off with a summarizing hashtag suggests that the rest of your tweet was pointless

5.    Don’t cross post content

Linking your social media accounts might seem like streamlining, but the two should be different: Facebook for your friends, Twitter for public

6.    Don’t auto-post from apps

You might be immensely proud that your sat-nav has successfully guided you home rather than into the sea, but nobody else cares. Nobody

7.    Twitter isn’t an email account

Don’t tweet as a means of organizing your social life. why not send your mate a direct message? Or a text? Or even an actual email?

8.    Don’t brag

Boasting online doesn’t endear you to anyone. Adding #humblebrag won’t get you off the hook (see point 4)

@Fourzerotwo

In a past life, Robert Bowling was a big cheese at Call of Duty developer Infinity Ward. But since leaving in March this year, he’s set up a new company called Robotoki and announced Human Element – a post-apocalyptic game that is being developed exclusively for the Kickstarter-funded, Android-powered Ouya console, which is a project that Bowling has donated $10.000 of his own money to. One to watch

 @Edgarwright

With a CV that includes Scott Pilgrim vs. World, Shaun of the Dead, Spaced, browser-based interactive graphic novel Brandon Generator and, next up, a movie version of Marvel’s cult comic Ant-Man, E-Dubs is the undisputed geek-in-chief of UK cinema. And with Simon Pegg, Peter Jackson and Robert Rodriguez on his Christmas card list, it wouldn’t be surprising if a promotion to Emperor Geek was just around the corner.

@Glinner

The writer of Father Ted might not seem like an obvious follow for tech heads, but Granham Linehan has embraced the internet more enthusiastically than any other UK writer. Expect tweets on everything from the Twitter joke trial to pictures of himself on the toilet. He’s also a big gamer, with a particular penchant for battlefield 3. Plus you can also pass off his jokes as your own down the pub (please don’t really do that)

@Trent_reznor

Trent Reznor’s DIY-themed band Nine Inch Nails might be lying dormant at present, but his work with Atticus Ross on the score for The Social Network, plus the soundtrack for classic PC first-person shooter Quake, prove his wider (and long-running) geek credentials. His tweets are sporadic (especially when compared with someone like @Glinner), but his thoughts on the current state of the music industry and the internet are always spot-on

@Davidbraven

If co-writing classic 8-bit inter-planetary trading game Elite wasn’t enough for you (we’ll just pretend Kinect Star Wars didn’t happen), games veteran David Brahen’s most recent venture was as part of the Raspberry Pi project to create an affordable mini-computer that helps to teach kids how to code (and you how to make a media streamer for peanuts). Worth following if only to be the first to hear of any news on Elite 4

@Avantgame

With two TED talks undet her belt – including one on how playing games can actually make you live longer – San Francisco-based (where else?) games designer Jane McGonigal knows a thing or two about living life in front of a screen, pad in hand. Expect thoughts on how games can do you good (rather than turn you into a serial killer like the Daily Mail would have you believe). You might also get the odd tweet about shoes.
