A Case in Point

In accordance with my previous post, and to illustrate the point I’m making, here is an example. Note, this is the kind of solution that would have been ‘ok’ 10 years ago. Please understand, this isn’t the fault of the site owners here, it’s a poverty of features available for them to work with. Now undoubtedly, there may have been an option that they missed to accomplish this task more elegantly, and Twitter.com may be on it’s heels in regards to the suddenness of it’s rise in users, but good design is crucial to business value, that means living up to potentials.

Exhibit A: ReadWriteWeb Please do follow this link to their site. ReadWriteWeb is a quality site, but look at this kludge their have been forced to offer…

Based on those lists, and reader suggestions in comments of other companies that should be watched, we present to you a list of 50+ Twitter users who work at Semantic Web companies. If you find this sector as interesting as we do, you might want to add some of these people to your microblogging community. You can click through the arrows in the iframe below to scroll through all the accounts and add the people listed. RSS readers who’d like to see the list should click through to the full post.

Mashery

A handful of these are company accounts, but most are accounts from individual employees. Want to suggest anyone we missed? (We know there are lots we’ve missed!) Let us know in comments. You can also meet the RWW crew on Twitter.
