Random follow #224 - @SiDawson

How do you find tweeters to follow on twitter?  Some tweeters are people you meet in real life and then follow.  Some are people you follow and then get the opportunity to meet later.  And then there are the good folk of twitter who provide recommendations.  Todays tweeter - @SiDawson is one of those people.  A total recommendation.

Word has it that Si is "a twitter pro and generally friendly" --> both pointers towards a great tweeter.

Si has a fantastic depth of knowledge when it comes to the internet and he is more than happy to share his
knowledge with anyone who has the courage to ask.  An example of his free help tweets is worth a read by anyone who is interested in who has access to their data.  Here is one of his tweets that will totally blow your mind if you click the link -->

"a) change your password, b) go to http://bit.ly/L24AaF and revoke access to anything dodgy."

Si is one serious techno knower of knowledge.  He is also a deep thinker who considers his opinions and answers to others before he fires off into the twittersphere.  Time is no barrier to his twitter habits as he can only be found tweeting late into the night.

Originally hailing from the metropolis that is Palmerston North you most likely find him located in the UK at the moment.  Its the nice guy who lives inside him that wishes the world was kinder better than it is.  That is the hallmark of someone who embodies compassion and a caring nature.  And that care extends to the online world as well when he shares tweets like these -

"Btw? Facebook is bad for you. Get a life: http://econ.st/15uT2Jn "

and

"Miserable weather. Watched a woman give a homeless guy an excellent umbrella. Ah humans, you’re alright."

You can also go a bit wider then what he posts on twitter. He also has his own website where he shares his posts and views that need more than 140 characters to write. If you think his tweets are interesting try having a look at his site - http://sidawson.org/  His blog on preparing a Hangi for English readers is interesting too.

So what we've got here is someone who can communicate.  Si brings a clear and consistent style to twitter and social media that is appealing is its fairness and balance.  And with that he also brings a wider world view which is well grounded and always current.  Go follow.  It'll be good for you.
