In response to WIRED's 100 Geeks You Should Be Following On Twitter, I have compiled my own list of 101 roleplaying game geeks you should be following on Twitter. It should be noted that this list is highly subjective and absolutely not all-inclusive; I invite readers to add anyone I might have missed in the comments below. This list is also not exclusively RPG-based, despite the title. I have taken the liberty of including persons of general geek interest that I feel were grievously, heinously overlooked by WIRED's list. Finally, I have only included real names only when such were available on the person's Twitter page or other public website.
The list is sorted alphabetically by TwitterID, so no one should feel either slighted or elated by their position on the list.

Dude! You totally left out @wilw! Will Wheaton needs to be On the list.
Wow, thanks for including me (TrickyOwlbear)! Hopefully I don't prove too snooze-worthy. :)
@wilw wasn;t on the list because he's already on the WIRED list. I was trying to hit folks who weren't already on that list.
Thank god I didn't make this list. My level of fame is so high already, I might get (another) nosebleed from being even higher. ;)
Great list! As a gamer and MMORPG examiner, I'm also available on twitter @jaimeskelton. :)
Awesome list, Unclebear! Thanks for including me!
