50 People You Need To Follow On Twitter Today

It’s tough trying to find smart, thought provoking, and valuable people to follow on twitter. There’s no shortage of lists and with twitter’s new list functionality rolling out to everyone soon, I thought it might be fun to create a list of 50 People You Need To Follow On Twitter Today. The following list a nice representation of the people I find the most value from on a day to day basis. Their signal to noise ratios are amazingly high and I rely on them for knowledge, insight, and sometimes a chuckle. I hope you get some value out of this list and maybe discover someone new to follow or connect with.

Adam, great list! A lot of people I already follow and some new ones I'm looking forward to learning from. Thanks for including me.

Funny, I just stopped following a couple of these folks precisely because of the lousy signal-to-noise ratio.

Care to expand on your selection criteria?

It'll probably be easier and faster if you let me know who you think is giving off a bad signal to noise ratio than it would be to go line by line for each of the 50. Happy to discuss further.

Sure. You have my e-mail via this blog. Write and share your contact details. I'm not out to air dirty laundry, I'm genuinely curious as to how you chose these folks.

Adam, come clean. I know your criteria is
1.) People you're trying to sleep with
2.) People you've slept with and
3.) Those who send you free t-shirts

I know you too well.

Thanks for the shout out, and for introducing me to several new people to follow. Hopefully my signal-to-noise ratio doesn't get too out of control during college football on Saturdays
