I’ve recently realized that Twitter really is a great resource for finding info and meeting people related to the world of office supplies, or any other topic that you are interested in. You can find everything from other bloggers who write about the topic to people who work for some of the companies that make the products we all love, to representatives of retail stores that we buy from. Having the chance to connect with some of these people on Twitter has been very informative, so I thought I’d share a list of some folks who I think deserve a follow on Twitter from the world of office supplies.
These are all just in alphabetical order as I dont want to show any preference here, they all offer their own unique insight and information on office supplies that is worth checking out. Below you will find links to each person(s) twitter ID, and their respective websites.
Blogs:
biffybeans – owner of Spiritual Evolution of the Bean, a blog with lots of great info on notebooks, fountain pens, inks, music, writing, and art
dowdyism – owner of an absolutely fantastic pen blog, The Pen Addict, a good guy, and I think he has actually reviewed every pen known to mankind

I am sure that there are more people that I am missing, however that certainly does not mean that you wont find them on your own. As I said before, Twitter is full of interesting people who are willing to share lots of great info with the people on there, so I highly suggest checking these folks out on there. If you find anyone else or know anyone else on there who you think makes sense to add to this list, leave a comment and let me know so I can add them.
UPDATE (7/8/2009): Ive added a new page which is dedicated to tracking this information so it is easy to find from my home page, and Ill continue to keep it updated with new Twitter users to follow that are focused on anything related to office supplies.
