Tweeting Tux - Linux on Twitter
I was pretty skeptical towards Twitter when I first got to know it, wondering why so many people feel an urge to tell the world what they had for breakfast. Since then Twitter has evolved and so have Twitter users. There is still lots of noise but also quite a lot of useful information being tweeted by millions of users.
In addition to reading various news feeds to keep up with the latest buzz on Linux, I follow several Twitter users, who share their thoughts and information on Linux, open source as well as plans for lunch in their tweets.
I have listed their Twitter profiles by topic below as recommendations for following Linux on Twitter. Who else can you recommend to follow for those interested in Linux and open source?
