Twitter/RSS Feeds for Board & Card Game Industry?

Hey guys,
So I started writing for a catch-all geek blog, www.TheModernDayPirates.com, for their games and tech sections, and am trying to build up a list of Twitter users to follow for board & card game industry news. Other blogs, game designers, company PR accounts, etc. Does anyone have suggestions of accounts to follow, or have a Twitter list they could send my way? Looking for board games and card games specifically, not so much tabletop wargaming (although I am into that personally as well).
I don't have any delusions of grandeur about the whole blogging thing, and am really just doing it for fun. The site gets enough traffic (about 25k unique visitors per month) that I don't feel like I'm wasting my time writing to a void like I would if I started my own site, but I know that's chump change compared to the big-boy websites.
Wound up getting a media badge for NYC International Toy Fair last week and came home with a bag full of sample games to review, so I'm gonna start there and see where it takes me. If it's not considered blogspam I'll post my impressions/reviews here too, maybe get some constructive criticism for someone new to writing critical reviews.
So yeah if anyone's got good recommendation for Twitter or even RSS feeds/other blogs I should keep up on, it's all much appreciated!

Have you checked for a geeklist of twitters/RSS feeds over at BoardGameGeek, already?
edit: To start you off, FantasyFlightGames has an RSS feed and a twitter linked from their home page.
