Game Show Folks to Follow on Twitter

Have you been been bitten by the Twitter bug? If you're not familiar with the service, it's a social networking tool that lets you communicate with others, 140 characters at a time. The site is known for its catch-phrase, "What are you doing?" but it's so much more than just reading about how a random stranger's cat is sitting on his keyboard.

Twitter is quickly becoming a tool that can be used for everything from job searching to marketing to promoting music and keeping up to date with bands and musicians. As you'd imagine then, you'll find some useful and interesting game show folks on Twitter as well.

Here are some that I'm following, and heartily recommend to you! If you know of someone who's involved with game shows - a past contestant, casting company, fellow blogger, official show account, or any other connection - please post their link in the comments section and I'll be sure to add it to the list.
