Twitter for iPhone and Feeds

As you probably already know, we are the people who created Twitter for iPhone so you can haiku useless thoughts into the ether. We have also collected a number of feeds of the Ruby on Rails Jedi Knights so you can follow what everyone is up to. You’ll need a Twitter account to participate. Sign-up at Twitter.com

(BTW, Twitter is up and down all the time, we feel the pain as much as you do. Hang in there if you can’t access)

Twitter Feeds You Should Follow

(These are in no particular order and we did our best to list everyone we could. If you are the man (or woman) and think — “By god how could those NL jerks not post my feed.” Just email us at postmyfeed@twitterforiphone.com or leave a comment below. If we have time we will add your feed to this list.
