Great post! I followed quite a few of the people on the list. I’m a front-end developer (kind of turned designer in recent months, but dev at heart always), but I didn’t really follow very many! Thanks.

Aha, so that explains the sudden influx of followers
Thanks for the listing and the tips. I see I’ve been missing some essentials.

Ugh, didn’t know about the BrendanEich homophobia. Unfollowing.

OH YEAH… Brendan Eich supported prop 8 with a $1k donation… disclaimer added.

Homophobic, eh? Could you link me to some evidence for this? I’d like to put a disclaimer next to him.

Thanks for the recommendations! Will see about adding them.

Lea Verou is a big name I definitely already follow!

Also, Brendan Eich is homophobic. Not following because of this.

You should add @jonikorpi (the author of Golden Grid System and Frameless) and @fat & @mdo (Twitter Bootstrap creators)

I see your point. Sometimes I don’t remember why I’m following someone or how I met them, but I know their tweets are still quality. Sometimes, what I would have to say would be pretty mundane, “Person I like who works for a bank and posts great links to articles.” I put them up anyway. If I have something special to say about someone, it usually means I have a personal relationship with them or they’ve done something exceptional that I’m aware of.

Many thanks! I’m finding a lot of great tweeps because of your post — much appreciated!

This is a great concept and really useful, but would be even more so if there were writeups for *all* the people. Don’t make me think etc etc. If I see the words “CSS” or “SASS” or whatever alongside someone’s name that’s probably enough for me to follow on a whim, but if I have to make the effort of clicking through etc then this isn’t so much a curated list as just a set of random usernames, you know?

Like I really needed more people to follow on Twitter.

In all seriousness, great resource! I feel pretty good that I already follow about half of the list, now I’ve got more devs to stalk and pick up their breadcrumbs of awesomeness.
