Jun 12th in Roundups by Ian Yates

There's no denying how useful Twitter can be when it comes to trawling the web for content. With that in mind, here's a quick roundup of 50 twitterers who tweet some of the most useful Flash-related content around.

(It goes almost without saying; if you have any more who deserve a mention, we want to hear them!)

    That list isn’t bad–I think you hit a lot of active Flash folks–but some barely tweet at all. Just to pick on my friend R Blank. He’s definitely a key influence in the industry–but he’s had only 10 updates on twitter… as of yet, you won’t miss much if you don’t follow him.

    Thanks!

      That’s a good point, but as he fitted into the small group recommended by Adobe I thought him worth mentioning. Perhaps not worth following though..
