Who I Follow...
In addition to being a former student of Rowan University (having since transferred to Columbia College Chicago), I not only had a professional association with Devin Sanclemente, but also a personal one. We've been friends since high school and over that time I've seen him grow as a writer and performer. At Rowan, Devin was a dual Theater and RTF Major, and in relocating to Chicago, he now hopes to delve into the world of improv comedy and urban theater.
On YouTube under the name The DevCam Experience for years, he created his Twitter as a supplementary social networking tool so his followers and peers could reach out to him in a new way. He was one of the first people I knew who signed up for a Twitter account, but unlike people who tweeted about nothing, Devin had a purpose. He wanted to make himself known, he wanted to network, but most of all he wanted to grow. He wanted to make his content online and in his stage performances an amalgamation of all that he had learned and been in contact with on the Internet.
Available at @DevEXP, Devin follows a variety of people on Twitter. Typically he will follow back those who follow him as well as those who reach out to him with content or questions. Other than individuals he has a personal relationship with, Devin also follows a variety of professional comedians (Demetri Martin, Daniel Tosh, & Donald Glover), improv artists (Improv Quotes & The Second City), inspirational figures (the Dalai Lama), and companies or organizations he is associated with (YouTube, Tumblr & the Twitter account of his college). By following these individuals, Devin opens himself to a great wealth of inspiration for his performances and highlights the collaborative (remixing) nature of modern art, the idea that content builds upon content.
