Earlier this year I created a short list of top rubyist to follow on Twitter. At that time, that list was the first list of programming twitterers I had come across. Since then many other folks have created lists of programmers that are on twitter to follow. No matter how long the list of twitterers to follow is, you will always miss someone. So instead of coming up with yet another list of programmers to follow on twitter, I came up with a list of list of favorite .net, ruby, java, and technologist to follow on twitter.
