Backseat Sandbar

Each Note Secure in Cincy compiled a list of “must follow” twitter’ers for Cincinnati and I thought that was such a great idea, that I would do the same for Louisville.  Here is what I’ve come up with.  I’ve included a few regional links just so we can keep tabs on Lexington, Cincinnati and Indy.  I know I’ve left a lot of people off, but just let this be a spring board.  Comment with anyone that I’m leaving off and I’ll update the list.  It will be a good way to get us all on the same page.
