Who should I follow on Twitter? Apple fans

Welcome back to "Who should I follow?" where we troll the webs for nice large groups of Twitter accounts for you to follow. Today, we've got everyone's favorite (or least favorite, they generate some pretty steamy reactions) Cupertino-based company: Apple. You may not know this, but Apple itself has no official presence on Twitter, and the only real account we know any Apple employee to have belongs to Scott Forstall, who mysteriously signed up a few weeks ago, and has yet to Twitter a single Tweet. Sigh. Anyway, we've compiled the biggest, best list we could for you of journalists, pundits, fanboys and websites alike -- but as always, feel free to suggest additions in the comments!

Lol

[liftedngifted1 Posted Jul 22nd 2010 4:30PM]

@Gayguywhohappenstolikegadgets Follow Apple Fans? So basically follow every Engadget editor right?

[BlackedOut Posted Jul 22nd 2010 4:44PM]

liftedngifted1, Good point.
Hey Laura why aren't you guys on this list?

[Craig Posted Jul 22nd 2010 8:05PM]

@liftedngifted1
How the hell did you get highly ranked for that? Seriously, am I the only person getting bored with the 'everyone at engadget is biased towards apple" comments that seem to spring up on just about every article, apple-related or otherwise, that is posted?

[wbeardell Posted Jul 22nd 2010 9:48PM]

@Craig
i don't have a twitter, but you could keep checking out the list of posts with the tag #attfail

[MoonWalkerCTE Posted Jul 22nd 2010 4:25PM]

Nice

[The Shadow Posted Jul 22nd 2010 4:30PM]

MG Siegler should be on this list.

[Laura June Posted Jul 22nd 2010 4:38PM]

@The Shadow totally. I added him.

[mcziggz Posted Jul 23rd 2010 11:43AM]

@Laura June

@MoCheeks is also an employee

[AckbarsFist Posted Jul 22nd 2010 4:32PM]

So... is Scott Forstall actually gonna tweet?

[BlkRb0t Posted Jul 22nd 2010 6:41PM]

@AckbarsFist Yes, as soon as he gets the reception.

[Caullen Posted Jul 23rd 2010 12:50AM]

@AckbarsFist No, he just signed up for a twitter to follow Conan O'Brien

[Psyclotr0n Posted Jul 22nd 2010 4:35PM]

where's the witty coffee-guy Gartenburger?

[Nitrammn Posted Jul 22nd 2010 4:37PM]

Oh well, at least that fake jobs was fairly amusing even if bordering a little on tasteless

[JonCha Posted Jul 22nd 2010 4:43PM]

If you're not tweeting, you're doing it wrong.

The Steve Jobs spoof account is hilarious. Makes me laugh every day.

[xnox Posted Jul 22nd 2010 4:50PM]

Who should you follow for Linux fans?

[Laura June Posted Jul 22nd 2010 4:51PM]

@xnox working on that one.

[K Nitsua Posted Jul 22nd 2010 5:00PM]

Great list. I suggest following @modmyi for news related to the iPhone Jailbreaking scene

[Tequilaslammer Posted Jul 22nd 2010 5:12PM]

Stephen Fry should be on the list, I suppose. @stephenfry

[chartier Posted Jul 22nd 2010 5:22PM]

Thanks for the Macworld mentions Engadget! Much appreciated, and keep up the good work.

[illpodcom Posted Jul 22nd 2010 5:24PM]

good list a few omissions though, which i cant think of off the top of my head.

also follow us @illpodrepair - mostly a mishmash of apple things we find interesting from our the web with some original content from our blog plus our thoughts on almost every apple development.

[Robdertd63 Posted Jul 22nd 2010 5:26PM]

You guys forgot @AppleRumorsNet. Always ontop of all the Apple news and responds to all their @replys!

[topher1078 Posted Jul 22nd 2010 5:26PM]

You all couldn't find one Apple employee? Sad. Michael Jurewitz (@jurewitz) is one. He's the Developer Tools Evangelist (think Xcode) at Apple and does a great job addressing Objective-C, Xcode, and iPhone SDK questions (that aren't under NDA, of course). His is the closest official Apple Twitter account out there, as he often breaks SDK and Xcode news (such as today's developer release of Xcode 4).

There's also Louie Mantia (@mantia). He's a designer formerly of The Icon Factory (of Twitterrific fame).

[jocarr Posted Jul 22nd 2010 5:28PM]

@DLDwomen

because of ->

http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2010-07/21/what-happened-when-400-alpha-women-got-together?

and because I love the advice - "If I look at the men who've failed leading fast-growth companies, it's because they weren’t listening" so true.

also check out DLD's very cool mobile app, where one can watch all the DLD speakers ->

[Psyclotr0n Posted Jul 22nd 2010 5:31PM]

@jocarr
but can they make me a sammich?

[topher1078 Posted Jul 22nd 2010 6:05PM]

One you left out - Arnold Kim (@arnoldkim) from MacRumors.

[Psyclotr0n Posted Jul 22nd 2010 6:15PM]

off topic -- anyone else having trouble with a missing "SUBMIT" button in Safari? i'm having to run slow Camino.

[jameshicks Posted Jul 22nd 2010 6:33PM]

You have to add Macgasm to this list as well (@macgasm)

[loocas Posted Jul 22nd 2010 6:39PM]

What the hell? Why would I want to follow ANY fanboy? Even less so APPLE FANBOYS! o_O

[BlackedOut Posted Jul 22nd 2010 7:28PM]

To speed up your indoctrination.

[gdisaac07 Posted Jul 22nd 2010 7:07PM]

You forgot every single jailbreaker. The people who know the phones the best are not represented here at all.

@musclenerd
@planetbeing
@comex
@dev_team
@geohot
@saurik
@ih8sn0w

Come on engadget. You should know better.

[Marko Posted Jul 23rd 2010 5:36AM]

@gdisaac07 - agreed, these are the only guys I follow (some of them, at least)

[Professor Hubert J Farnsworth Posted Jul 22nd 2010 7:18PM]

Who do I follow to read more about these lists of who to follow on twitter regarding certain aspects of technology?

Comprehend that one, bitches.
*Smug face.*

[Writers Corner Posted Jul 22nd 2010 7:58PM]

You guys forgot @Zyote and @ Cocoia
Both works as graphics designers at apple.

[biggoofysmartass Posted Jul 22nd 2010 8:10PM]

@Writers Corner http://twitter.com/macosken
http://twitter.com/DaveHamilton
http://twitter.com/johnfbraun

How am I the first to add these?!?! They also create the better podcasts for Mac geeks

[biggoofysmartass Posted Jul 22nd 2010 9:49PM]

Huh - Dave Hamilton was mentioned - bah - faulty text search before posting-

STILL JOHNFBRAUN deserves the love too!

[pattidatti Posted Jul 22nd 2010 9:02PM]

Do one on android as well please :D

[tcdriver Posted Jul 22nd 2010 9:42PM]

and don't forget:

@macstoriesnet

[Henrybreen Posted Jul 24th 2010 2:04PM]

@hobbesoh

Not because he's my boss; the guy is a serious, real deal Mac professional, with little use for bylines, that -daily- keeps US/UK companies, that live and die on the Mac, afloat come-what-may.
