East Lothian tweeters

I decided the other day that I would try and pull together a list of East Lothian based tweeters using Listorious. I suppose it’s just another way of trying to encourage interaction at a local level, albeit using twitter, a global application.
I used three main techniques to compile the list:
- I initially started adding my own contacts that I knew were based or worked in East Lothian
- I then started to look at the followers of these people to see if any of them looked East Lothianish
- Finally, I used TweetDeck to set up a keyword search for ‘East Lothian, Dunbar, North Berwick, Musselburgh, Port Seton, Prestonpans and Haddington’ so I could see every occurrence of these keywords in people’s tweets. By taking a look at these people’s tweets I then took a view on whether they were based/worked in East Lothian or were simply passing through or discussing.
It sounds like a lot of work but it probably took about 15 minutes. The list currently stands at about 30, with 5 followers so I don;t think Nobel will be knocking my door down to award me a prize but it is a list in progress and and will be added to as and when I come across new East Lothian tweeters.
By the way you can follow this link to see the list for yourself East Lothian Tweeters
