Twitter.  There’s a lot of conversations going on, but who’s good to listen to, and who’s not?  This is a common question I get when talking to others about the benefits of twitter.  Who the heck is Robert Scoble, and why should I listen to him?  Seth Go-who-din?

Agreed.  There ARE a lot of conversations out there and it IS often difficult to pick out the good ones from the well, let’s just say, less than interesting ones.  One of the best ways to get started is by following the ‘biggies’.  A quick google search of top 10 twitter folks brought up a number of names that I’ve already heard of, regularly read, and/or know at least something about.  I like to think of these folks as the movers and shakers of twitter.  They’re really driving and having great conversations – all out in the open for you and you and you and me to read.  My recommended top 10 twitterers are:

  1. TechCruch
  2. Scobelizer
  3. Jason Calacanis
  4. Guy Kawasaki
  5. Ryan Carson
  6. 1938Media
  7. Kevin Rose
  8. Leah Culver
  9. Gary Vee
  10. Ijustine
  11. MountainDan
  12. DataDirt
