An unofficial, incomplete and subjective list of Adobe AIR enthusiasts to follow on twitter
I gathered a pretty nice list of Adobe AIR related people you may want to follow on twitter. The idea was to list people very committed to this technology, such as those who have publicly published an AIR application, those who haven't but tweet a lot about it, active AIR team members, etc... Why did I do that ? Services like wefollow are nice, but I think that the follower count is not a relevant enough criteria. I think we need more human powered, subjective, peer review based lists and rankings.
So the list is pretty restrictive : I didn't include many excellent Flex developers/evangelists/twitterers/friends/AIR team members who just sometimes happen to talk about AIR (I'm thinking about writing another post for them). I didn't include people who don't use english as their primary language for tweets. I didn't include super star evangelists everyone is already following. I didn't include people who mostly tweet about what they had for lunch... (and the list goes on).
However, chances are I missed many people who'd deserve to be on that list. If you're an AIR centric twitterer, please forgive me for being too dumb to find you. You can of course add a comment and I'll add your name to the list.
In the meantime, don't forget you can also follow me (I mostly tweet about Adobe AIR but also about Flex and Flash).
Note: the description is not a bio, just the relationship of the twitterer with AIR.
