Who to #follow on Twitter

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Penn chapter.

Hashtags have taken have taken the social networking world by a storm.

Having a Twitter account now is right behind having a Facebook so that you can tweet everything you cannot acceptably put as a status on Facebook. Plus, who doesn’t like using hash tags?

But tweeting isn’t the only great part about twitter; following others on Twitter is just as entertaining. There are a couple twitters that are absolutely essential to follow whether or not you’re a tweeter.

First, for all things Penn, follow @UnderTheButton.  They always link you to their newest interesting posts and keep you up to date on things that are going on around campus directly on Twitter. 

Looking for a good laugh? @GSElevator is the perfect twitter to follow for some of that harsh, Wall Street humor. It’s rude, it’s in your face, it’s perfect if that’s what you’re in the mood for.

Need a dress for your next date at a great price? Or maybe just a new pair of shoes, because really, who has enough? If so, @StyleSteal is absolutely perfect if you’re looking for a single place to keep track of all the latest steals and deals related to fashion.

If you follow the BetchesLoveThisSite blog, @BetchesLoveThis is a must follow twitter.  The Betches update their twitter whenever they have a new blog post, or whenever they have something sarcastic to say. 

@WhatTheFFacts – Follow this twitter for endless tweets about the most random facts you could ever want to know.  What better way to pass the time sitting in the back of your lecture hall?
