UTB #FF
July 30, 2010 at 10:52 am
Twhat's up, tweeple!? We know hip internet folk love when we use e-lingo, especially when we're talking about e-trendz. And nothing says e-trend like Twitter sensation Follow Friday!
For those of you who are so two thousand and late, #FF is when users suggest people to follow on Twitter for a variety of reasons (generally, attractiveness and/or the ability to link to pictures of cute animals). UTB would love to share with you our favorite Penn, Philly, or Penn-in-Philly accounts. We think you should get @ them (and us) after the jump!
Penn Life:
@penncurrent: A relatively under-utilized source for quirky little stories about things happening at Penn that may not make headlines... aka where we get all our stories on archeological digs and parks.
@mylifeiswharton: Occasionally actually funny, they have the Huntsman-at-3am shift on lock.
@kellywritershse: It's the best parts of the hyperactive listserv with none of the emails.
@PennMuseum: Lots of cool events-- and where else will you see a museum tweet about a happy hour?
@duelingtampons: We really only follow this to remind ourselves that #hashtag abuse is still a rampant problem in America.
@penncareerserv: Jobs, stories about jobs, way to get jobs, you know. The usual.
@pennpsychexp: We hate to give away our best-kept secret, but this account posts as soon as new psych experiments open up (you know, the chiller version of Wharton Behavioral Labs). We suggest mobile alerts.
@ICAPhiladelphia: Art art art art art art everrryyboooodyyyy!
@SDT_UPenn, @trideltaupenn: How cute, some Penn sororities have Twitters. Just think of the tweets! Mixers and pillow fights and tote bags, oh my!
@clairejkupenn, @HelenCheung: Fine words of wisdom.
General Philly:
@Phillyfunguide, @Phillyist, @uwishunu: Philly news, happenings, free shit, drinking, etc, in the event you can haul your ass out the Penn bubble.
@SEPTA: If SEPTA could talk we don't think it would simply announce schedule changes, but whatever.
@phillyzoo: They just tweeted about the birth of a baby giraffe. BABY. GIRAFFE. IT'S A BABY GIRAFFE.
Food:
@GrubStreetPHL, @foobooz: Restaurants all over Philly, deals, openings, and general yum yum for your tum tum.
@fooderybeer: BEER!
@dpdoughphilly: A restaurant that actually utilizes its online potential? They offer Twitter-exclusive deals, take surveys for new menu items, and really communicate with customers.
@coupdetaco: The food truck also advertises deals and Twitter-only specials, as well as location changes.
@sugarphilly, @ButtercreamPhl, @callmecupcake: Dessert trucks, where you at?
@Hubbubcoffee @MojoCoffeeTruck: Coffee trucks, where you at?
@frogro: You remember those guys from the Bible? Prophets? Yeah, the self-proclaimed "frogrospokesbro" is one of them.
@NDelhi: Oh, New Delhi. You try so hard to social media, but your caps-lock abuse is just such a struggle. We also appreciate your Foursquare account friending us.
Concerts/venues:
@PhillyConcerts: General overview of all shows happening in Philly. Rage.
@R5Productions: It's a shame Penn has no hipsters, cuz we think they'd really appreciate this independent show promoter.
@the_rotunda: Oh hey, you're on our campus and you do mad cool stuff-- not just concerts, but artsy-cool all over the place.
