20 Influencers You Should Follow on Twitter

Yesterday my co-founder asked me why do I still use Twitter. And to be honest, especially now when my feed is full of tweets about Donald Drumpf and Election Debates — I often ask myself the same question. Probably the one and only reason why I still haven't given up on Twitter is because it's a great place to find inspiration.

Even though, I never followed more than 200 people (at any given time), my feed is (usually) full of interesting stuff. So I ran a small analysis of the best accounts I follow and I've decided to make a list of some of the most inspiring ones.

To make it a bit more interesting — I've decided not to include accounts which have more than 25,000 followers, as you probably already follow them. (For the same reason I also excluded all accounts with a Followers/Following-ratio over 60, and everyone with a Social Authority Index over 65).

Here is my list of 20 Influencers worth following
