For many, Twitter has become a part of our daily lives. How many of us can watch a programme on television without searching the hashtag on the social media network to see what everyone’s talking about?
Sharon Corr’s black knicker dress anyone?
Twitter went mad on Paddy’s Day discussing Sharon’s unusual dress choice.
We all have our favourites to follow. Last week, we celebrated Twitter’s seventh birthday by listing our seven favourite people to follow on the site. This week, TIME magazine has assembled a list of 140 of the most important and entertaining users of the social media service.
One hundred and forty, see what they did there?
The list is quite US-centric, but you might discover a new Twitter favourite for yourself.
