The other day, I was trying to Google for a list of top bloggers on Twitter that I could follow in my niche. But the search results that came up were very limited. Even worse, I barely could find a decent list. Consequently, I thought to myself, “Why not compile a list myself?” Long story short, that’s how I came up with this idea and have finally chosen 43 most renowned and influential bloggers in 2009 that you should follow on Twitter.
Note: I ranked these bloggers according to the amount of followers they have (as of 8/29/09). Any questions? Find me on Twitter @WebStudio13
