At least a quarter of our members are on Twitter, that is to say about 1% of our whole Twitter following. I always get a buzz when two Tweeters meet each other for the first time at one of our events and you see eyes light up in recognition of often a lengthy 149 character friendship.
We have authors, novelists, tour guides, archivists, librarians, academics, bloggers, cartoonists, musicians, journalists, students, publishers, buildings experts, heritage professionals, ghost writers, programmers, genealogists and regular Joes like me who just love their history.
I never seem to have time to do the Friday #FF thing, and besides there is always the risk of missing people out. So here’s a list of London Historians members, please #FF them. And let me know if you’re a member and I’ve missed you out.

Altogether, now! #FF them all, #FF them all, the long and the short and the tall… Etc.
Update 9 August: Thank to Calum in comments for suggesting I put everyone on a list within Twitter. Now done, and here.
Totally coincidentally, @wwalks wrote an excellent introduction to Twitter on her blog only yesterday. So, if you’d like to get more out of it, or are thinking of getting on Twitter for the first time, I recommend you have a read of it.
I’m a member and you’ve left me out! But that’s a lot of Tweeters to keep track of so I understand.
@LondonRemembers
Sorry, now fixed above and I’ll do an update in next month’s members’ newsletter. I knew I was making mischief for myself here (!), but I think it’s a worthwhile exercise. Hope to see you again soon, BTW, hope all’s well with your project etc.
Hi Mike
I’m on Twitter as @rob_s_smith
Great idea BTW – looking forward to following all these interesting Twitterers
Rob Smith
Thanks, Rob. Fixed.
Can you create a list on your twitter so that it is easier to follow everyone?
Hi Calum, great suggestion. Problem being I have to add one at a time, PITA, unless there is a way of doing it in one hit. I guess, I’ll have to bite the bullet and get it done.
At least it only has to be done once and then its easy to add more later as people join – as I will!
