Since I’ve joined twitter I have found it very helpful to keep my finger on the pulse of technology and where it is going.
I follow many of the top Microsoft developers and find it interesting to see their struggles, opinions, and influences…
- codinghorror / Jeff Atwood
- shanselman / Scott Hanselman
- haacked / Phil Haack
- RickStrahl / Rick Strahl
- RoyOsherove / Roy Osherove
It could be argued that twitter is just a distraction instead of an inspiration.
How how you find twitter as a medium for being technically savvy? Is it helpful or just a waste of time?
If you find it useful… who in the ASP.NET arena would you suggest following?
It’s definitely a distraction, but I find that an amusing distraction here and there is good for me. I get more done in shorter amounts of time when my morale is high, and connecting to the outside world helps with that. I follow my wife, our cat (yep, has a twitter), several friends, a few ColdFusion & Flex evangelists, a SQL Server MVP, a few comedic relief tweeters, and fellow developers & friends.
