As great as it was for being one of the top badass personal finance bloggers (or as my mom said “jackass”), it’s also great to be honored for my Twitter feed (follow me!!!!)
OnlineSchools.org compiled a list of the 100 Best Twitter Feeds for Your Financial Intelligence. And yes, even though it may surprise you, I am one of them.
The list is broken down into different categories like personal finance, business, investing, etc. @the_weakonomist (that’s my Twitter name) is the first name listed in the Economics section. Now it felt good to be on the badass list with other personal finance bloggers, but this might feel even better. Why? Because I’m listed right above The Economist (the magazine)! I’m also over NPR’s planet money feed, and even that jackass (not badass) Nobel memorial winning economist Paul Krugman! I am pumped.
So to show my thanks for being featured I went through the list and found a few new people to follow on Twitter. They are below but I highly suggest you check out the full list, if nothing else to see me towering over Krugman.
@MarkThoma. An economics professor at University of Oregon, Mark Thoma provides links to his blog as well as to other articles.
@ericfruits. Eric Fruits posts his perspective on economics here.
@braddelong. Brad DeLong shares his thoughts on economics as well as links to other resources too.
@eisenhofer. Alexis Eisenhofer shares information on economics, investing, and much more.
@econaddict. John Dean offers up his opinions on economics on his Twitter feed.
@ThinkingFinance. Learn about finance as well as how to make money in the markets with the information on this feed.
@WSJNumbersGuy. The Numbers Guy provides information on the numbers in business and politics here.
One final addition that was not on the list. It’s my Twitter buddy Jodie. She is an PhD student at Harvard studying economics. Aside from having the greatest named blog on the planet, economistsdoitwithmodels.com, she also has great insight and is quite funny. I highly recommend you follow her as well. @jodieecongirl

Said,
Howdie Weakonomist – Nice site and I’m an emerging Twitter fan as well. Just curious, if you work at a major bank, whatcha doing in the southeastern portion of America? I thought all the “evil” banks are based in New York City?
The only big bank I can think of is Ken Lewis’ great empire at Bank of America in NC. We all love Ken Lewis for spending the $50 billion on ML before the market the day Lehman went bankrupt. A lot of my friends at ML made out like bandits, and are thankful.
Hope to hear from you, and keep up the good writing.
