Twitter is taking the country by storm right now. It seems like everyone has a Twitter account these days. Chicago has some of the best twitterers, bloggers, companies and restaurants in the country and now they're making their presence known on Twitter. With new accounts popping up every day, I decided to highlight some of the top Chicago twitter feeds you should be following. Keep watching the guide because I know this one is going to be growing for a long time!
Chicago Tweetups
If you’re looking for a great way to meet more awesome Chicago bloggers, I recommend attending a tweet-up. Chicago Tweetups keep track of all the cool events happening around the city so you know the when, where and why.

The Field Museum
1400 S Lake Shore Dr, Chicago, IL 60605

Areas of scientific study including zoology, paleontology, geology, botany and anthropology are unified at The Field Museum, where exhibits are divided by field, location or period of time. Innovative and interactive areas serve as a draw to all ages, with typical museum-style exhibits providing a stable grounding to the many galleries. Play Lab offers children a fun place to explore and learn, and visitors of all ages are fascinated by Sue, the most intact Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton in existence. The museum is part of the Museum Campus of Chicago, near the John G. Shedd Aquarium and Adler Planetarium.
Social Media Club Chicago
Social Media Club is a great way for anyone in or interested in the social media industry to meet and network with other like-minded people. Their events happen once a month, usually on a Thursday, and feature a panel of speakers, free drinks and food and endless socializing opportunities.
@windycitysocial
Windy City Social creates opportunities for men and women to connect on social, intellectual and professional levels with networking events, outdoor activities such as hiking and bike rides to workshops and parties.
@LaidOffCampChi
Laid Off Camp Chicago puts together events for unemployed or self-employed men and women to get together and network.
Their next event is scheduled for June 10 from 1-5 p.m. at Loyola, Water Tower Campus
@jerrytaft
When he’s not delivering bad weather news to Chicago, ABC 7’s meteorologist Jerry Taft is active on Twitter. He even attends a tweet-up or two! Above he poses with @blagica, founder of Gals’ Guide and @jessiO.

ABC 7 Studios
190 N. State Street, Chicago, IL
I love ABC’s studio because it has replaced a wall with windows so a passerby can watch in while the news is being broadcast. Usually at the end of the show the cameras will check the street to see if anyone is waving.

Barnes & Noble
1441 W Webster Ave, Chicago, IL 60614
When Jen is touring the country on her book tour, one of her first stops is this Barnes & Noble location. I’ve only gone once, but the line was insanely long. Obviously she has a huge following here in Chicago.

Cupcakes on Twitter!
Chicagoans really love their cupcakes. More and more cupcake shops are opening up and I cannot wait to get the Chicago bloggers together for another delicious Cupcake Crawl!
Swirlz Cupcakes
705 W Belden Ave, Chicago, IL 60614
Swirlz is my favorite cupcake shop. They have a key lime pie cupcake (pictured above) that is insanely delicious. They also have gluten-free cupcakes!

Farmstead Wines
I had the pleasure of meeting the founder of Farmstead Wines at the 20SB Meet-up. He took time to teach us where he gets his wines, the farmers he’s met as well as how to taste wine and which foods to pair it with. He even came out with us afterward! Check out their blog here. Follow on Twitter
My Guilty Pleasure
It took me 20 years to truly appreciate the awesomeness that is cheesecake. I usually joke that I live far away from all of the good stuff since I’m not very close to the Loop, but I got lucky because I live blocks away from Eli’s Cheesecake
Eli's Cheesecake
6701 W Forest Preserve Ave Chicago, IL 60634
Make sure you’re following Chicago Tweetups so you don’t miss out on any of the tweetups Eli’s hosts. The next one will be held on July 23. Click here for more information.
