This article headline over at Mashable today caught my eye:

New Jersey Governor Tweets at Justin Bieber for Help With Sandy Relief

The article goes on to detail New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s recent Twitter efforts to raise needed support for those suffering the aftereffects of Hurricane Sandy’s rage. I credit the Governor (or whatever staff member handles his Twitter duties) for recognizing the power of the Biebs. In Twitter land, the key to getting your message out to a vast audience is getting it noticed by a few key influencers. If they notice it, engage with it, and share it with their respective Twitter followers, the results can be enormous. And in the case of what Governor Christie was trying to do — raising support for families devastated by the storm — the idea of using a tool like Twitter (free, easy and efficient) is genius.

One question we might ask about this scenario: do “tweets” by highly popular social figures like Justin Bieber necessarily translate into action (in this case, donations of funds, goods and services)?

But today, I’m asking a different question:

Who’s “Catholic Twitter’s” Justin Bieber?

Who are our “go to” tweeters when we need a message delivered quickly and efficiently? I want to make sure I’m following all of them, but also that I’m not abusing their generosity in overburdening them with my requests.

So today, in the comments, I’m asking you to answer the question by naming some of your “go to” Catholic Twitter studs and studettes. I’m going to offer a few suggestions of my own in the combox too, but not immediately. I’d like to see who you come up with first. If you share a suggestion, please also include a link to their Twitter feed to make it easy for all of us to follow them.
