  • Just followed all of them and you. All of the suggestions are worth it. Thanks for sharing. Specially as I have now started developing WP Plugins so I really need to follow such people.
  • Also, it appears @cavemonkey50 has changed their Twitter name to @ronaldheft
  • OK cool, thanks for the heads up. :)
  • Thanks for this list! Already following some of them.

    Hopefully one day I'll make a list like this :D
  • Richard, Simon and Anne> Appreciate your other recommendations and I am just adjusting this list to include the others. Thanks.
  • I think you have to mention Lester Chan here as well - http://lesterchan.net/ - he has created several plugins that really expand WP.
  • I really agree with Anne Jan. I also miss @jdevalk in this list. He has some great wp plugins.
  • What about me? :(

    Just kidding...

    Thanks for sharing, but I really mis Joost de Valk (@jdevalk) on the list. He is a great WP plugin developer. Check out his blog on http://yoast.com
  • Great selection !
  • DOUG> Wasn't aware I was making anyone do anything. No searching required, the ID's are all there. The only thing I didn't do was to make them direct links, which I have now done.

    Is this what you mean?
  • ok I have to ask, why the extra step of making me search for them or copy/paste them into a twitter client to add them?
