Direct Communication: 60+ Best Web Designers to Follow on Twitter
The era of short messages and compressed information… These are days we are living in. Twitter made the spirit of epoch so apparent that it quickly gained popularity and partially interchanged TV and newspapers. It’s not surprising, because you just need the internet connection to watch and watch exactly what is interesting to you. This became a real breakthrough in the information interchange. Also, it became possible for so called non-celebrities to gain popularity for their real achievements without any PR mediators.
Once we are on Design (!) Float, I’m daring to suppose we are all interested here in web designers. So, let’s review the alive examples of people who make Twitter their mouthpiece. They share their thoughts, ideas, advice, works and many other things. Praise to internet freedom: you can easily interact with them and gain some useful experience.
But how to know which designers are worth of our attention? Well, that’s why I’m here: I’ll give you a comprehensive list of the best web designers to follow on Twitter.

About the author:
Art Rivera: Deeply interested in everything connected with Internet, I sincerely suppose the web is the only future reality for the humanity through its inevitable involving into every part of human life. I’m not a great fan of cyberpunk concept, but the world is keeping that certain direction of total connectedness. And of course there should be someone, who can write the history, who would describe and analyze and enter in the record all notable changes and tendencies on the web. Hello, it’s me.
