I have used twitter a couple of time, and found it is really good tool for social network and internet marketing. After I followed some big name in the internet marketing field, just on the next day, some famouse internet marketer follow me back! By the way, this is my twitter link if someone want to follow me: http://twitter.com/haimingj

“shameless self promotion”

“shameless self-promotion”? You’re absolutely right, cat.
But why not? http://twitter.com/adamkayce
http://www.twitter.com/scottperezfox – thanks for the add.
sweet list, and replys
https://twitter.com/picard102
In most cases, Twitter is improved by adding more people. That’s part of what makes it good. “Shameless self-promotion” isn’t really a bad thing in this case, when it means more options and more people to meet.
My twitter: http://twitter.com/mavegibson
Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think, that one of the “Designers” to follow on Twitter from the original list have thought it suitable to use the Twitter logo – including the tree which the feathered creature is perched upon – as the principal component in the main banner on her personal portfolio website.
As far as I can work out this banner precedes the announcement on this page and feels remarkably like the Merriam-Webster’s definition of “plagiarism”: “to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one’s own”
Or have I missed something?
I’m flying the graphic design flag at Twitter…
http://www.twitter.com/daydreamgfx
Nicklas, I’m sure it’s just a stock image, which couldn’t be further from plagiarism.
Nicklas i have been using that image from istockphoto.com for the last two years way before twitter, its a stock image by John Oxton. I kind of fell in love with its simplicity and thought it would be a great image as a little intro for my website, i have grown to love it even more so i couldnt imagine changing it!
People often email me about it and i point them straight to John’s work on istock, i think twitter fell in love with it as much as i did!
Please dont accuse someone of plagiarism which is a serious accusation until you have actual facts.
Curious, I found an illustration by Simon Oxley on iStock. http://xrl.us/bmadu Maybe John Oxton (The Web Developer from the Cotswolds?) had made a similar one available two years ago?
Jesting aside, I’m glad to hear that it was just a case of using stock illustration and not plagiarism in this particular instance.
My bad i was listening to the rissington podcast at the time and must have had john’s name on my brain! Yep i meant to say simon oxley, i actually mention the image and credit it in my stylesheet as well.
Well Nicklas and Grace, I’m glad that situation had a happy ending. I honestly didn’t know if the image was plagiarized or not after Nicklas’ comment. I thought about deleting the comment but I very rarely do that and I hate to kill commentary if it’s not necessary.
No worries steven, its just a bit upsetting to be called a plagiarist and have to defend myself for using a stock image but im glad its sorted.

Is Ryan Carson really a designer? Nice chap…
Huge shock not to see Jina Bolton (twitter.com/sushimonster ) or Andy Clarke (/malarky) in there… they do both contribute to .Net magazine!
Also think the word designer is really easy to use for anyone and I’d quite like to see some separation to help clarify who is more of what skill. For example: I get that Eric Meyer is more of a CSS front end developer than designer… maybe he’d argue that. A designer, to me is someone like Elliot Jay Stocks or Larissa Meek.
Khai,
Good point. There are several here who are probably better classified as developers. I chose the word designer to also include the graphic designers on the list who aren’t truly web designers, but I agree with you.

Thanks for the mention. Loads of great Twitter CSS Web Designers. All my heroes to tell the the honest truth. Twitter rocks!
Also think something strange has gone here. On closer inspection there’s posts from CSS Design Yorkshire and 939 Design here that were nothing to do with me! I must have lots of mates I don’t know about. That’s nice. I love you all.
Ah I’ve got it – if you post it all goes mental.
A friend just asked me a favour to find a designer to be interviewed on his website, I just remember this post (that I read previously) and jumped back in!
This is very useful post! Thank you very much for this wonderful idea…
Well…, count me in to the club :p

Hi Steven
Wanted to say how greatful I am for your Twitter post and actually including me in it. It has actually been of enourmous use to me to have so many more people following…
I was a little surprised at what was going on initially as I started to get so many follow requests.
The last couple of months have been very challenging for personal reason, hence why I seem to have dropped of the face of the earth for some weeks.
Things slowly getting back to normal, motivated, re-igniting things where the flame had died and generally winding the engine up.
So a huge thank you Steven again for including me in this list, a belated Thanks. You’ll be seeing me back on your other Blog also in time, back to my usual waffling comments etc.
Going to be ReTweeting this post etc as it’s so cool and have met so many great people, feels like it’s helped me more than the people who were mean to follow me.
Regards
Graham
This is a great idea, I have added most of them, and we shall see how things go.

I’m not entirely sure how my name ended up on this list as I keep my Tweets protected and only add people I know. However with so many people wanting to add my on Twitter, in large part due to this and similar articles, I decided to open up my profile and see how it goes. So if you still want to follow my random musings on life, the universe and everything, you can do so here http://twitter.com/andybudd
Thanks for the great list!
Wow. These lists are awesome. It’s harder to add them all than it was on another site because the other site just had little pop-up windows. Yours opens the twitter accounts in a new browser window and it takes twice as long. (Just a word of advice!)
I am really interesting, see! http://twitter.com/jlryan

I’m starting to question the value of following all the famous designers and developers. Some of them are interesting some of the time, but unless you’re also an internet celebrity there doesn’t seem to be much interaction.
I used to follow a lot influencial designers and developers and I although I respect them a lot I began to realise that neither party benefited. Twitter should be about discussions, not broadcasts.
Having said that, my twitter is http://twitter.com/benhigham/
That’s a great list! I am also a designer from San Diego. Follow me at http://twitter.com/bertoway

Great list you have here, a lot of great designers! I’m just curious as I look through the list a lot of them have a few thousand followers but they only follow a few hundred.
I may be wrong but I thought the whole idea of Twitter and social media was to network and be social?
Anthony,
Everyone has a different purpose and approach with Twitter. Personally, I don’t follow hundreds or thousands of people because it makes things too cluttered and overwhelming. I’d rather be able to effectively follow a smaller number of people.
I agree that everyone is different when it comes to Twitter. My only point was that the ratio of 10K + followers to 300 following (for whoever) makes the person look like a snob. It is the same for Facebook or Linkedin. I can see where it could become harder to manage by following thousands but not everyone posts to Twitter every day. I suppose to each his own.
Anthony,
I see your point, but I don’t think that makes someone look like a snob. Some people don’t seek out thousands of followers, it just happens because of who they are. If they follow all of those people in return it may make Twitter essentially useless to them, depending on how they use the service and what they want to get out of it.
I love the list and see many passionate web designers and developers. Here am too such a guy love the web, its design and social media.
