If you have just joined Twitter then you have the daunting task of finding a community, well now there is an easy way thanks to a very cool tool from http://zbowling.com/code/twitter.html
Simply add your twitter username and password (the tool does not store this, but change your password after if worried) then paste the list of people you want to follow.
This nifty little tool allows you to add a whole bunch of influential people in your industy really easily. I would recommend that you fill in your bio and make 20-30 useful posts before attempting a bulk follow as you are more likely to get people following you in return if you look like a valuable member of the community.
To help get you started check out the links below.

Please feel free to add any other lists you find.
