A really useful list. I am trying to find out how many people use #PMOT.
I think about 600, which is very small number given the millions of project managers around the world. I think #PMOT is mostly used by consultants who are trying to sell to project managers.
Real project managers are too busy delivering projects.

Consultants are real project managers and also business people in their own right and as such they know that they have to market their services regularly in order to maintain a constant flow of business enquiries.
