Introducing ... Follow the Reader!
Today I'm excited to introduce Follow the Reader, a new feature highlighting the best Twitter accounts from Pop Candy readers.
Last week you guys sent in your suggestions, and I was impressed by their quality and variety. It's not too late to nominate yourself (or someone else!), so if you feel inspired, e-mail me at popcandy@usatoday.com with your Twitter username, real name/city and a brief description of yourself and your tweets.
Here we go! I encourage you to follow our featured folks:
Twitter username: @rogereschbacher
Real name: Roger Eschbacher in Los Angeles
About me: "I'm a TV animation writer who's worked at all the usual places and an 'indie' middle-grade fantasy novelist who tweets about all that stuff, along with some random bits of humor tossed in for good measure."
Sample tweets:
"Andy Kaufman and the Mighty Mouse theme song: Was reminded of this by my lovely wife. Breakthrough '70's era ... http://fb.me/1lw3iFdmM" (March 2)
"Sympathy for the actor. What it takes to get cast in a series ... http://fb.me/2B0dVqRcn" (Feb. 17)
"Starting to regret my Pokemon-themed full body tattoos." (March 2)
* Follow the Reader will run daily through March 15 before becoming a weekly feature.
