Ever wish you had a way to get the best infosec tweets without scrolling through Twitter for what seems like hours? Well, now you’re in luck; our “Infosec Ramblings” post every Monday features the best of Twitter from the previous week so you don’t miss a tweet. (Horrible play on words, but we couldn’t resist.)
In case you haven’t stopped by to say hello, why not take a moment to visit us @grecs? While you’re at it, why not check out NovaInfosec Twits to see how you can get your name out to the local security community.
If you’re looking for people to follow on Twitter—besides us, of course 
—it looks like this is the place to start.
- Interesting.. RT @cyberwar: Nominations now live for the Top 50 Tweeples to Follow: 2009. http://pitch.pe/21108 #
We even nominated a few people ourselves…
- I nominate @mubix as a #Top50Tweep in infosec http://bit.ly/41Ezxs #
- I nominate @securitytwits as a #Top50Tweep in infosec http://bit.ly/41Ezxs #

All of the names listed above are people who are a big part of the local security community. If you’d like to get involved, why not start with some local security meetups that are happening this week? There were also some great meetups that happened last week in case you didn’t get a chance to attend.
