Ah, Twitter. Whether you think it’s a time suck of frivolous 140 character updates or a great place to make connections and stay up to date, there’s no doubting that it’s carved out a huge role in today’s social media landscape. There are millions of accounts in use every single day, and while most may post daily updates about their (ahem, exciting) breakfast choices, there are a special few who have broken free of the Twitter stereotypes and post compelling, interesting content that has helped them grow large followings.
These market influencers exist in every corner of the marketplace and today we’re sharing those accounts that we think all web developers and designers should be following. Whether you’re a casual browser or an obsessive Twitter follower, give these social media titans a follow and you’ll see exactly why their accounts are so popular.
