Twitter List

Here is a collection of Twitter handles to follow. I have not blindly copy-pasted the ones I follow - all of these tweet and retweet more than just announcements that their latest blog post is out.

I intend to update this page. If you think you should (not) be included here, contact me.

If you are new to Twitter, I suggest you check couple of the names, and begin to follow those you like. Pretty soon Twitter will start suggesting similar tweeters and you will see retweets by the names you follow. In no time at all, you are following 100+ names. At that point it would be wise to create lists (divide the tweeters into separate lists based on asset class/topic etc) and start using an application like Tweetdeck instead of the terrible webpage.

Oh yes, I am on Twitter, Facebook, email and paper.li.
