Follow Me on Facebook

Posted by Tom Woods on April 5th, 2010 | 3 Comments »

My personal account has reached the 5,000-friend limit, but I’ve since taken over as administrator of a Thomas E. Woods Jr. fan page someone started some time ago. I’ll be posting there more and more.

Hey Tom, why not join the Austrian community on Twitter too?

Forgive me, but how do I do that?

It is a lot like joining Facebook. Sign up for an account at Twitter.com and start “following” other Twitter users. For every person or organization you follow, their real-time updates will appear on your Twitter page. The quickest way to start would be to sign up for an account and follow me at http://www.twitter.com/jhonsun (click on my ‘Follow’ button). You can look at who I am following (you’ll find several libertarian and Austrian organizations, individuals, etc.) and then follow them as well. That will get your foot in the door.

To find other Twitter users to follow, check websites like Mises, YAL, C4L, Independent Institute, Lew Rockwell, etc. because they almost always promote their Twitter & Facebook accounts on their respective home pages. Also, as soon as you advertise that you are on Twitter, I’m sure many folks will automatically begin following you too.

BTW, it doesn’t just have to be economists either. You can follow anyone you want. Any average person (like me) or news organizations, celebrities, musicians, politicians, local information – anyone or anything you have the slightest interest in following on a real-time basis. No one has to accept you as a follower. You just click and then you start getting their updates. That doesn’t mean that you can’t block people, but Twitter is more of an “opt-out” type of service.
