1. Miriam O'Callaghan @MiriamOCal 92k followers
Twitter Bio: TV & Radio Presenter/broadcast journalist with RTE, Ireland’s public service broadcaster. The views I express here are my own personal opinions.
Miriam O’Callaghan joined twitter in March 2010 and has since tweeted 13,800 times. Her twitter feed provides a genuine insight into one of Ireland’s busiest women. Her tweets are as varied as her life and include behind the scenes tweets from RTE, charitable retweets and selfies with interviewees.
Her top twitter tips are to be polite, be honest, and be humorous. She advises not to use twitter as a self-promotional tool and not to be boastful in your tweets, instead simply enjoy it and learn from what the thousands of fellow tweeters out there have to say.
