Twitter feeds

Anyone have good Twitter feeds to share? I've been addicted the last several weeks. Here are some I follow related to gaming:

I just have 2 to suggest being:

http://twitter.com/multiplayers
http://twitter.com/geoffkeighley

The MTV Multiplayer twitter feed is much like a natural extension of the site; smart people that use their industry position to share real insight to people interested in games. As frustratingly sell-out as some of his GT and Spike TV work is, Geoff Keighley is a good guy and like Stephen/Tracy, he shares the insight that he has been blessed with. Both of these feeds also use twitter for live blogging of events, another good reason to take a look.

As for the other list of feeds, I don't think there is much reason for the layman poster here to be interested in the majority of those, unless they follow the writing/work of the user in question. I personally am interested in a lot of these people because I read their stuff and have the context, but even then, many of them tweet complexely uncontextualized garbage, which is why I subscribe to only a handful of users.

The whole tweeting medium tends to lean towards people perscribing nonsense, I honestly can't stand the pretentiousness that comes with the service. It's all celebrity, with exceptions, some of those are listed.[/rant]

The first time I heard of Twitter was the one Penny Arcade where Gabe was Twittering his bowel movements. Now I can't click on Twitter links because I expect to see things like "Poop is coming out now".

I dunno - I kind of enjoy the sheer volume of it. It's more fun than I thought it would be. Of course, I haven't yet seen anything about bowel movements. Maybe I'll feel different if that happens ........

Outside of this guy ;) anyone else use twitter? I like following folks who use this to advertise new content on their site. Well, and CM Punk.
