Twitter employees you should be following
Twitter employees are, unsurprisingly, regular tweeters on the platform they design, create, support and work for. There is a strong contingent of them on Twitter and we've published a list of the employee accounts we think you should be following.
They include Twitters CEO and Co Founder, a mass of support personnel, designers, engineers and employees in other positions. They're useful to follow because they'll often tweet a lot of very interesting, helpful and breaking insights into the world they work in and the platform millions have come to love.

Support and more
You'll find that a good few of these employees will happily answer you questions about Twitter, particularly on a support basis.
It's also interesting to see people like it's founder, Ev, showing a very honest approach in their tweets. Last week, when Twitter was experiencing a few too many of the 'Fail Whales', Ev tweeted that a fire alarm going off was just what they wanted to cap a 'stress free' day.
Tongue in cheek, honest and refreshingly amusing from CEO's of large companies.
We're not saying you should expect to get masses of tweeted support, but if you've got a particular query or a development idea - we think you'll find Twitter embrace their own social media tool in a positive way and will react to posts that they think are of merit.
Some accounts have protected tweets, but they're few and far between. Some post a lot more than others, but all are regular tweeters and you'll see them tweeting at all times of day and night.
So, get the inside line on Twitter the easy and obvious way - follow it's employees online!
