A Twitter feed, at its best, is like an algorithm you written to keep yourself amused and informed. At the same time it offers us direct access to the best minds and the worst bots on the planet.
And in a field like the IoT, where theres so much noise and so little signal, getting new information without constantly reading “Gartner forecasts that 6.4 billion connected things will be in use worldwide in 2016, growing to 20.8 billion by 2020″ over and over is a bit tough. That’s great information but when a “connected thing” can be anything from a kettle to car to a pacemaker, it’s hard to get a sense of what matters now.
So we want to know who on Twitter is giving you the most addictive IoT information. Here are the best accounts we’ve come across.
