A few people I follow on Twitter (and who else should *I* follow?)

Date May 5, 2008

I’ve been asked a couple time recently for a list of ‘web’ people that would be useful to follow.  Here’s a partial list of some people off the top of my head.  If you’re not on the list, and I follow you, and you’d like to be, just add yourself and what sort of stuff you twitter about (webwise).

For PHP stuff, following @phpdeveloper and @calevans you’ll get a good gateway in to the community. Cal put together a list of PHP Twitterers here.

For .NET stuff, I follow @shanselman, @joshholmes, @keithelder

For Flash stuff - I know there’s a few names I’ve followed, but I can’t recall who they were.

For Ruby stuff - @ntalbott and @averyj, but they don’t twitter enough about web stuff (come on guys!)

For Python stuff - I don’t have any that I know of - who should I follow?

For Groovy - @galaforge and @dima767 are two I follow to keep up on Groovy

Java - I used to know some, but again, I don’t see enough Java tweets to keep them top of mind.

For other web stuff - who should I follow?  Who else should I follow for various web technologies?

    For python you could follow me: @clint

    and here are some others (this might be a little Django heavy crowd):

    @ubernostrum - James Bennett
    @simonw - Simon Willison
    @sketch22 - Nathan Borror
    @jcroft - Jeff Croft
    @blturner - Ben Turner
    @jkocherhans - Joseph Kocherhans

    Alternatively, you could prowl around http://www.djangopeople.com and find people with twitter accounts on their profiles :)
