This list was just a small section of the web design community there are 100’s if not 1000’s of more designers worth following so feel free to leave a comment with a link to your link twitter profile if you think your worth following!
why is walter apai on this list? he has never designed anything for the web in his life.
Firstly, hello…he has built and converted @WebDesignerDepot into one of THE most popular and well respected design blogs around.
Oh look, it’s one of THESE lists again.
The last one of these I saw, I used it for an experiment. I made sure I was following the top 20, then over 10 days I looked at the kind of stuff they were tweeting, and if it was of any use and relevence (to web design/development).
And what a surprise, most of them tweeted utter bollocks.
Here’s my list of 5 (from your list of 50):
@sixrevisions, @sazzy, @chrisspooner, @paddydonnelly, @boagworld.
Agree with Jason. A lot on the list tweet merely personal things (going to make groceries, soon client meeting, highscore on game Bla and so on). Nice, but hardly useful.
In my very humble opinion designers worth being followed:
@netdivermag
Mix between links and personal
@ericsteuten
Only tweets bout design, art, photography etc.
Rachel- Walter Apai has never designed anything- he bought the url and spammed his way into recognition. He hires writers and knows nothing about web design himself. This is a paid placement like every other reference to him on the web.
This list is totally incomplete – missing many important people like Ryan Carson (owner of @Carsonified), Soh Tanaka (@sohtanaka), Dan Cederholm (@simplebits) of Dribbble & SimpleBits, Molly Horzschlag (@mollydotcom), Jina Bolton (@jina) etc. and has lots of spam-filled twitterfeed people in it too.
Dainis from 1stWebdesigner.com??
Come on..he is just a blogger,even he is not writing anything in his blog
You add many ”only” design blog owners not designers
Being a web designer means something different
Nice list to follow!
Thanks for this amazing list WDL, and Mariusz. Ofcourse the list isn’t complete, nearly everyone has a Twitter account nowadays, and there are way more than 50 web designers on Twitter definitely… As said in the last paragraph ^_^
Once again, great list! I enjoy reading what these sort of people post 😉
Great list, there are a few guys there that I hadn’t found on Twitter before. Makes a refreshing change to see some new faces!
What’s up with the lack of content on Web Designer Depot for the last couple of days, not to mention quality? I see typos all over this article. Copy edit! I want meaningful articles, not halfhearted lists where the only text is straight off the website being featured.
People have figured out Walter Apai is a fraud and don’t want to write for his sites anymore…
Cool list, thanks for adding me.
@the_hell_rider a devigner since 1982 and an anti political power metal drummer c”,
Great list of GREAT designers!
Wow… thanks for the include on this list. I am humbled to be include with such awesome people.
Thank God this list is alphabetical cause I certainly dont deserve to be near the top.
Thanks again!

@BarryMadden
It really helps to follow people in the field to learn and get better.
And thanks so much for including mine.
Just followed 5;)HELLO!
Thanks!
Well I follow a few of these already because they generally tweet pretty amusing stuff, but not much on the design front! I Tweet about total crap but just for the sake of potentially gaining a few more followers I’m http://www.twitter.com/apcooperweb 🙂
As for a suggestion for a designer who is worth following on Twitter, you want Alexander Dawson – http://www.twitter.com/AlexDawsonUK
Just a great handy list of designers / developers to follow on twitter. Thanks for sharing.
Nice list. I have already following but some are new and I followed them. I want share similar post which I had written some time back: 45 Favorite Designers and Developers you must follow on Twitter
Thanks!!!
there is also @cleartag 🙂
The list is missing @chriscoyier from CSS-Tricks.
thanks for including me! It mustve been tough to narrow it down to 50, there are so many great community members on Twitter.. so that fact that I made the cute is shocking and flattering.
Any of ya’ll reading this looking for more “honorable mentions” id suggest @nikibrown and @joshuamauldin and @designcoyote.
You, Your, You’re – and I’m not worth following yet.
I have to agree w/ a number of the replies here…this list is sorta lacking. And there are some questionable folks included who likely won’t be providing much more than links to their own ad-driven blogs. Some of my suggestions would include: Jesse Bennett Chamberlain (@jessebc), Cameron Moll (@cameronmoll), Jason Fried (@jasonfried), etc. etc.
I love how some of these people have websites with splash pages saying they’re “rebranding” and they’ll be “back in xxx of 2009!”. I don’t care how busy you are, if you can’t keep your own website up to date I don’t consider YOU up to date either.
There are literally thousands of great designers out there but narrowing it down to a popularity contest like this usually does rub people the wrong way – unless of course they’re on the special list.
I myself like the list … they don’t really have to be designers per se, I look for people who are also interested in web design, not just designers.
Thanks for the list, and I plan to follow those in the comments as well.
… Scott ( http://twitter.com/ScottProck )
Twitter & Social networking is great, Thanks for the list
A huge number of Twitter profiles here are not even worth following. I suggest you guys check out @thelimedesign on twitter. He does not have a design blog but his designing skills are stupendous.
A decent list….
Add me in the list lol..
Yeah, I’m a Web Designer! 😀
Great list! Worth following!
Really helpful list of Twitter profiles, Thank you for sharing!
Great list of Web designers and Developers to follow on Twitter, Looking forward to their Tweets, Cheers!
its is certain a lot of people will be left out. It is possible some might not deserve the spot… but they must have done something to be here. So people, lets give it up for them.
Lovely post.
Great list. I followed them all. I am sure there are thousands of other designers that should be on the list but, great start.
This list needs Brian Hoff.
Thanks for the resources. As a web designer, I will follow all.
