Top 10 IT pro's to follow on Twitter



IT website, v3, has published a list of IT executives to follow on Twitter to help you keep up with the latest IT news.
So below, courtesy of v3, is the top 10;
Padmasree Warrior, Cisco chief technology officer@padmasree 
With over one million Twitter followers, the Cisco CTO is a shining example not only of how tech execs can embrace social networking, but of how women can break through the glass ceiling to take high-profile IT roles.
Matt Asay, open source advocate @mjasay
Matt Asay recently left his role as chief operating officer at Ubuntu developer Canonical to join mobile apps startup Strobe. We'd recommend following Asay for his insights on the latest tech and products without constantly pushing a corporate message.
Matt Cutts, head of the Webspam team at Google @mattcutts
The Googler uses his Twitter account to share the latest Google news and to offer tips and advice to his followers.
Chris Anderson, TED curator @TEDchris
Chris's Twitter feed is a mirror of what the Technology, Entertainment, Design (TED) non-profit organisation aims to achieve - spread ideas. Follow Chris for his views on the big news stories of the day, as well as snippets on the latest technology and other TED talks.
Michael Dell, Dell chairman and CEO @MichaelDell
Not many technology CEOs have their own Twitter account, and when they do, it's often filled with impersonal posts and plugs for the firm. Michael Dell's account is refreshingly personal, and he uses Twitter not only to update his followers on the latest at Dell, but to talk directly to customers and others in the industry.
Kevin Rose, founder of Digg @kevinrose
The founder of the community content site is very active on Twitter, on everything from his latest Milk venture to Macbook Airs and Spotify.
Evan Williams, Twitter co-founder @ev
The farmboy from Nebraska offers some useful tidbits of information, as well as his views on all things tech.

A useful source for Adobe updates, as well as hands-on tech advice.
