Who You Should Follow on Twitter

By 2010, the number of Twitter users will have grown to 22 million in the U.S. alone, according to a report by eMarketer. With so many conversations going on, it’s hard to know who’s selling snake oil or who’s providing good material.

Here’s a few individuals and groups we’re following @frogdesign. 



@GOOD— This conversation is from Good Magazine, the excellent online and print effort about all things (socially) good. There isn’t a lot of commentary but you can keep up with the magazine’s very active Web site on subjects ranging from urban gardens to city cycling to trends in design and branding.


@Mashable — Okay, so @mashable, with over 1.6 million followers, isn’t a secret, but we follow him anyway because it’s a great resource for news, updates, and trends on the social Web.


@HarvardBiz — If you’re looking for the latest thinking on management techniques, leadership strategy, market analysis, and the very latest business thinking, this feed from the Harvard Business Review gives about ten short and sweet overviews and links per day to its excellent blogs.


@BBHLabs — This feed is from the New York and London-based marketing and brand group BBH Labs (they call their work Marketing Skunkworks), a creative bunch whose conversations make wonderfully odd connections between technology, entertainment, social media, advertising, and digital design.

@brainpicker — Great variety here, and maybe the best bio we’ve seen: “Creative strategist by day, interestingness curator & digital anthropologist by night. Semi-secret geek obsessed with storytelling, design, data viz & TED.
