If you haven't succumbed to the Twitter craze yet, you should. It's a great way to catch blurbs of the players' lives, and players like Roddy White always have something interesting to say. It's also a way you can catch posts from here or from sites like the Falcons' official site, the writers from there, etc.

I used to not be on Twitter much, but there's so much information you can get from so many different sources, it's a neat way to see little blurbs of thought from a lot of different people.

After the jump, I'll go over some Twitter names you can follow to get you started!

This could grow into a rather long list, so I'll try to keep it somewhat organized.

The Not-Players

I didn't really know how to describe this, since it has to do with the Falcons, but it's not the players. This'll do.

@Atlanta_Falcons

@FalconsJAdams

@FalconsDCox

Jay Adams and Daniel Cox are the go-to guys when it comes to web content for the Falcons. It's not impossible to get a Twitter conversation in with them either, so long as you're nice! Atlanta_Falcons is the main Falcons Twitter.

@The_Other_RW

This is Roddy White, and he's a part of the Falcons. No, really.

@FauxMikeSmith

Someone has created a faux account for Mike Smith. I wonder who it could be?

@AJCFalcons

If you like D. Orlando Ledbetter, this is him. He's the Falcons beat writer for the AJC, if you're unaware.

@AJCSchultz

And this is Mark Schultz, who writes about more than just the Falcons, if I'm not mistaken. He still gives some good reads

@JasonKirkSBN

Jason used to be a pretty big contributor here, then he put his big boy pants on and left us to be a more integral part of SB Nation

@SBNAtlanta

This is where most of the Atlanta sports news comes in, if you're a fan of more than the Falcons.

The Players

Naturally, I could list every player on here, but that would be really time consuming, so I'll list a few.

@SeanWSpoon56

Naturally, that one needs no explanation.

@roddywhitetv

Nor does that one.

@M_Ryan02

Most everyone's favorite Falcon. He hasn't warmed up to the Twitter world much, but hey, maybe with more followers, he will!

@DFranks24

He's a pretty good follow. He tweets a good bit, and he interacts with fans, too.

@TwentyAte28

This is Thomas DeCoud. He tweets a good bit, and he has a really clever Twitter name.

@johnabraham55

This is Abe. I believe he tweets a good bit as well.

@DeionSanders

You are required to follow this (former) player. He has this thing going on called #HOP or "Hold on, playa!" where he retweets stupid things that other people see in their daily lives. Many of them are quite funny, and he's a former Falcon.

Honorable Mentions

@scar988

@D3_Falcons

Scott Carasik and Dawson Devitt are both good follows when it comes to Falcons news, and they're both good conversations on Twitter as well.

@SamuelLJackson

He's a Falcons fan. He does the Rise Up thing. Oh, and he yells like heck about the Olympics. He might be the most American man on this planet.

The Falcoholics

@TheFalcoholic

I'll bet you can't guess who this is.

@FalcoholicZippo

Or this one.

@JDRael

or this one.

@Alex_Welch

especially this one.

@jeannathomas

You're doing yourself a huge disservice if you don't follow Jeanna. She's awesome!

That's not a list of everybody, but it's a good start! Just about every Falcons player has Twitter, so it's worth it to search them out and follow them if you like!
