Although I have a TweetDeck group dedicated to New Zealand based Twitter users, it’s still difficult to keep tabs on who is who and where they’re located.

My frustration hit an all-time high while trying to organize a Christchurch-based tweetup the other day so I decided to create a directory listing all the New Zealand tweeps that I follow based on location, linking to their Twitter profiles.

It struck me that others might find this helpful so I’ve opened up the post to all NZ based Twitter junkies. Feel free to add other NZ tweeple and their locations (nearest major city only please) in the comments and I’ll add them to the relevant sections.
