Because Alert SF is, well, as useless as those sirens at Noon
So, a - um - friend recently signed up for the Twitter. He claims that it's to receive better and more frequent updates about San Francisco goings-ons. But we all know the real reasons: one and two. Anyhoo, rather than sit and get all type-A on his ass (figuratively) and log in as him and follow folks, I figured I'd make a list of (hopefully) wonderful suggestions for reliable, informative, fun news and event San Francisco updates.
The shortlist...
@ActionNewsSF (by far the best), @511SFBay, @sfappeal, @StreetsblogSF, @SFist, @Emergency_In_SF, and @CAquake
And for my Mission District neighbors out there: @MLNow, @94110now
There are obviously tons of local twitter accounts (like the local news outlets) but I find that often they report on things that as a snobby, native San Franciscan, are desperately unimportant to me: like things that happen in zip codes not starting with "941". Or they just post too damn much.
I would love any additional suggestions!
UPDATE: He also said that he heard there was free porn. That's a whole other list altogether.
