Following Authors On Twitter

Recently, I've tweeted Enchantment author Guy Kawasaki and The Informationist author Taylor Stevens.  To my surprise, they tweeted back!  Pretty cool!  Anyway, I think children would be further engaged in reading for fun by being able to follow their favorite authors on Twitter.  Best of all, you don't need a Twitter account to read the feeds!
