Thursday Tweeple: Thinktankers

These are interesting people associated with think tanks - rather than the Think Tanks themselves. I find that that approach can give more idiosyncratic comments, which are often more interesting than the official line.

@eamonnbutler Scourge of statists, thinktanker, writer. Director of the Adam Smith Institute, the Free Market Think Tank.

e.g., “has just dashed off 750 words for the Guardian. If you see readers shaking with rage tomorrow, you’ll know why.”http://twitter.com/eamonnbutler/status/1279206257

@CharlieBeckett Journalist, dIrector of Polis, the media thinktank at the LSE and author of SuperMedia. Website at www.charliebeckett.org

e.g., Presentation at USC on “microblogging and indentity performance” by @hornokplease - Twitter gets PhD-ed - it must have peaked already.

@simonbarrow Writer, theologian, journalist, co-director of the Ekklesia think-tank.www.simonbarrow.net

e.g., “Hope is belief in the plausibility of the possible, not only the necessity of the probable.” - Moses Maimonides

@samlockwood Works with the cultural relations think-tank of the British Council (Counterpoint) / freelance web PM/consultant via inceptionco.com. Low volume so far.
