Fellow Winnipeg Twitter-ers
In celebration of Wo’MH’s new and exciting Twitter feed (which tweets our newest posts, photos and links), we thought it’d be cool to put together a list of fellow Winnipeg twitter-ers, both individuals and organizations. If you, too, are addicted to the little blue bird, check out the folks below to see what’s happening all over the city.
Of course, this is only the tip of the iceburg; if you’re a Winnipeg-based Twitter user, let us know! Fire an email to twitter[at]winnipegomyheart.com or comment below and we can add you to the list!
EDIT: We’ve gotten a few request from former Winnipeggers to be added. For the sake of simplicity we’re sticking with folks currently living in the city, but if anyone is interested in putting together a list of former Winnipeggers who tweet, we’d be happy to link to it!

Hey thanks for posting this! I’m always looking to follow fellow ‘peggers.
@nooc
Hi! I can’t believe that I’ve lived in Winnipeg for 10 years this year! I love it! I moved here from Alberta and I never want to leave.
I’m a fellow Winnipeg Twitterer as well. My Tweets tend to be about being knee deep in toddler messes because I’m a stay at home mom during the day and work at Red River College in the evenings.

Dang. Exiled from the ‘peg. Well, nyah, nhah, we don’t flood.

I’m not a twitter (I am however occasionally a twit…), but I noticed a common thread in your blog (duh) and the folks commenting here: a passion about Winnipeg.
We’ve created a forum about Winnipeg that attempts to deal with all issues Winnipeg. It is a casual and serious place which I believe the Winnipeg O’ My Heart-ers and your readers might very much enjoy.
Why not check us out. And if you like what you see stay and play.

Thanks for including United Way and Urban Exchange – “Winnipeg Promoters” is a great category to be in. There’s a lot to promote.
Hi There:
Bo from Remax here…..on twitter at twitter.com/bokauffmann
thank you for the service…….
Bo
Thanks for adding me, but in the process you mis-spelled my name…..it has 2 ‘n’ at the end…without it, it wont link to my twitter page.
thanks again, and if you ever have any questions about real estate in Winnipeg, check my blog at rivercityrealestateblog.com, or e-mail, twit or call me anytime….
Bo
Bo – so sorry about the typo! All fixed now.
I feel so left out – I don’t twit ! Now we can keep up with your discoveries of Winnipeg on a minute by minute basis !
Mr. Christian – you should totally tweet! We’d follow you in a heartbeat! 😉
Hi guys!
Thx for the mention. Great idea to have a list of local Twitter fellows, Tweets, Tweeterers or whatever we are called.
And keep up the good work on the site.
Hi, i am from winnipeg, can you add me to the list??
Man, just when I get the hang of facebook and blogging, something else comes along. What’s next ? I hope not my Sony Walkman 😉
Oh, man, you guys rock! Thanks for the shout out! 🙂
No! I refuse! I didn’t buy acid wash jeans as a teenager and I won’t buy into this either. I give it 8 months before something else even trendier comes along.
Don’t do it Mr.C. We have to stand up to those 18 year old nerds who program these evil programs that take up all of our time! No more, I say!!
Exactly, cherenkov. Tried and true.
They can have my VHS tapes when they pry them from my cold, dead fingers 🙂
To Mr. Cherenkov and Mr. Christian:
I totally agree…….all this new fangled technology. Gimme back my 8-tracks and my “45’s”…lol
