Here are this week’s recommendations:

@jennifervides and I were recently introduced to each other by our mutual friend, Julio Varela, and we have quickly formed a friendship. She and I are the co-founders of #collegefootballtweetup, which will take place on Saturday, November 14 when my UNC Tar Heels take on her University of Miami Hurricanes. To make things more interesting, Jennifer and I engaged in a little friendly wager for this particular game. You can read about it here and my response here. If you can look past her poor taste in college football teams you will find a very cool person. I look forward to November 14.

@angelica7641 and I got to know each over a few social media conversations, specifically on what to expect when implementing a social media strategy in the workplace. She was very helpful and provided a unique perspective on the subject. I can also tell you that she is a Steeler’s fan who lives in Chicago and that she is currently working on a very important media project that will right the terrible wrong that took place shortly after the Bears/Steelers game last Sunday. She loves to promote this project so please ask her about it.

@jeffmello is a fellow Red Sox fan and runs The Ulitmate Sports Calendar, a very cool web site where you can keep track of when your favorite teams play and have reminders sent to you via RSS feed, email, or text. He can also be found on Twitter many evenings blipping his favorite #mellotunes for our listening pleasure (please don’t let the fact that there is a small group of people working together to ban a certain artist from the #mellotunes blip feed get in the way of your enjoyment)

@justinthesouth is a family man, owner of the Social Village and all around nice guy. He is the first to sincerely ask about someone’s day, remember a project he or she is working on, and promote them in one form or another. He is also a Red Sox fan, but I don’t think he likes my Tar Heels very much.

@katjaib is someone whom I just started to interact with on Twitter, and I am glad that I did. She is upbeat and positive and believes that we should use our powers for good. I agree with her. Check out her blog, Pay It Forward, to see what I mean. Plus, Kat really liked my pirate tweet on International Talk Like A Pirate Day and that scored big-time points.
