interesting that the top results kind of reflected those of the most popular twitter users published here, which makes sense if you think about it. it did get me to thinking about people that you should be following in different fields depending on your interests. then there’s the whole issue of wanting to follow someone because you respect their work even though they may send more personal tweets that tweets with gems of knowledge.

so the conclusion that i came to is that i’m going to get a study squat on and put together a list of twitterati that you need to be following under each categories. the categories that i have so far are industry, design, development, entrepreneurs and social media. please leave a comment below if there’s someone you’d like to be considered for the list or other categories you’d be interested in seeing. this is for you after all!



p.s. thanks to all you lovely folks that said me, but let’s face it you’re going to be biased as you were following me in the first place. i still love you more for it though, you’re the best!!
