I wish there was a "subscribe to all" button.

The Twitter devs vetoed that idea back in 2009 -- too much spam potential. Here's my 5-minute effort anyway:
http://www.wmorgan.net/lw_twitter.html
I don't have a Twitter account so the page isn't tested, but it looks like it works -- give it a second to load, though.
Edit: The following JavaScript will turn all Twitter links on this page into follow links. Couldn't figure out how to make a bookmarklet in markdown:
jQuery('a[href*="twitter.com"]')
.addClass("twitter-follow-button");
jQuery(document.createElement("script"))
.attr({"id": "twitter-wjs", "src": "//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"})
.appendTo("head");

Step by step:
- Open your chrome browser and press F12
- Click on 'Scripts'
- Down corner on the left, Click in the icon to "show console"
- Paste the code and press enter. The page will seem to reload and the magic will happen.
By the way, thanks for the code

That was ridiculously helpful. Everybody; this works.

There is, sort of. You can create a list of people, and then other people can follow that list as a group. If people are added to the list later, you'll end up following them as well.
So, you could create a global LW list and various local LW lists, if you wanted.

https://twitter.com/capsmac is my twitter account. I've made a twitter list of lesswrong members from the upper list, updated October 14, 2012

I mostly retweet stuff, largely from the above list. So I'm not sure how interesting following me would be, but I'm here.

Michelle_Z I'm not on it that often, though.

Is Venkatesh Rao (ribbonfarm.com) a useful LW-adjacent twitter account?

If you have python you can run the following script which will subscribe your account to the aforementioned users: https://github.com/afiodorov/mass_twitter_follow

Great idea! Tagging this community or networking or something might be useful.
I've added a link to this post from my LWer blogs list. Mind reciprocating? :)

My Twitter handle is conveniently the same as my LW handle. Feel free to list it.

As is mine. Twitter wouldn't allow just TGGP or T.G.G.P
