Random follow #191 - @ryaninnz

One of the genuine nice guys if social media is @ryaninnz.  Ryan is a business owner who brings a mixture of both class and street smarts to the game.  He is a digital gun who knows a whole bunch of interesting things about how the internet works than many of us don't understand.

Just like the internet he isn't confined to any one location.  Rather his expertise takes him to all sorts of places and locations around the world so that he can apply his knowledge.  He has a fantastic website which ticks all the boxes from a creative design perspective.

@ryaninnz has a pretty good feel for how much to tweet and how often.  So your timeline won't get overrun with tweets in any one single setting but you'll see him pop up every now and then when he has some bright spark of inspiration or something of interest to share with everyone.

Being both a creative type as well as an analytical one this is the sort of tweet he can pull off with ease - 

"Engineers build it.
Marketers leverage (exploit it).
Mainstream buy into it.
Engineers leave to build anew.
#socialherds"

He also like share some pro-tips for computer users as well - 

"Retweet and help Mac Graphic designers go faster!
CMD-SHIFT-4 Screen Capture
CMD-SHIFT-V paste in Keynote & Pages
CMD-SHIFT-A Attach in Mail"

He even has a very good sense of humour - 

"Once Were Waterblasters #tradiefilms"

Those are just a few random tweets.  Ryan is also a well rounded guy who enjoys engaging in all sorts of conversations about lots of topics.  Social media to swimming pools, music to mountain biking, politics to policing.  Ryan is an all round good guy who at the moment is based out of the beautiful Hawkes Bay and is great friends with a few other popular tweeters who also hail from those parts.

In summary @ryaninnz is a techie guy who has his feet in the ground but his brain on full drive.  He is an entrepreneur, a reader of people, a spotter of opportunities and a loyal friend who backs up his friends. 

And its fitting that the final word goes to the man himself - 

"Right, that's me done for the day. Beersies."

Random follow #167 - @DemiseNZ

IT guys are some of the best tweeters to follow because they are in the know.  They know what is going on in the tech world way before anyone else and if you're after the good oil on what trends are coming up soon then these are the guys who should be in your follow list.  @DemiseNZ is exactly one of those guys.

As well as being a tweeter of many things tech he also has a website you can access which will show you some really cool stuff.  Whats really cool though is that Gavin happily tweets about all sorts of stuff and isn't confined to just tech.  He has lots of interests in many different things.  He also has a fantastic sense of humor and a really nice approach to twitter as well.

So what do you get from him as a tweeter?  Well all sorts.  Just like a good packet of licorice.  Lets try a few tweets shall we?

"Right.... firewall is blocking tv3 stream... secondary line working fine :)"

"OH FU IOS...."

Gavin is a relatively fresh and is seemingly untainted by social media which can at times breed sarcasm and pessimistic tweeting from tweeters.  But he is not that way inclined and is more likely to tickle your funny bone with tweets like this one -

"Trying to explain email to my father always ends up in an argument."

To the uninitiated these tweets may sound a bit absurd.  Like WTF is he talking about out?  To the rest of us who have a little idea about tech and IT - these tweets are either funny or make a whole lot of sense.  Especially these one's - 

"ooo... nice smooth action from the G400... quite bit lighter than my old G5 but guess Ill get used to it."

"While I remember.... loving my G400s mouse... first game I played with it, got 3 kills within 30s :D Do miss my G5 tho... :("

So in summary @DemiseNZ is a fun loving, tech savvy, not to be taken too seriously tweeter who enjoys his time on twitter.  If you want to be in the know about tech and at the same time have a good laugh at the world around you then this is one guy you need to be following.
