Twitter is only as useful as the people you're following. For many of us, that involves a gaggle of accounts from members of our industry: entrepreneurs, marketing pros, journalists and developers. But the premiere micro-blogging platform is a far cry from all work and no play.
That's why we follow the accounts on this list. These reality TV stars, comedians, celebrities, athletes and parody accounts are the ultimate guilty pleasures to follow. We're sorry we're not sorry.
What accounts do you follow because they're so bad they're good? Add your favorites to the list in the comments below.
