For those of you in the design/development industry getting started with Twitter, following influential Tweeters will put a wealth of knowledge right at your fingertips. I’ve found that using Twitter and RSS feeds gives me a good solid collection of daily resources that would take me hours to find otherwise. It also takes a lot of my time, but I feel like if I’m reading quality content then it’s productive time and not wasted time.

Colorburned has a great list of people to start following and I’ve been following quite a few of them for some time and they’re a wealth of information. With all the lists like these posted you see a lot of the same people all the time as well as some fresh faces to follow. As always feel free to follow our company and also feel free to follow me personally. Our company will always return the follow. I use my personal account more interactively so don’t be offended if I don’t follow you back there. I can’t keep up with the few followers I have now so I’m a little more selective.

Twitter is a powerful tool. Some say it may be one of the biggest web tools of 2009. I hope you sign up and enjoy the benefits of using the site.

Update: Naldz Graphics posted a list of 300+ active twitter users.
