https://twitter.com/Ocramius/lists/knowledge-roi

you can take a look too .. And it's not ( obviously ) only Laravel related.

Thanks @devsharpen, I'll definitely check out the list.

Hi @SaeedPrez I think I have about 450 php people on my twittter php list. https://twitter.com/tristanbailey/lists/php/members

I would rate some of the ones posted above as some of the top speakers.

@Prullenbak I was going to suggest them too. Good stuff :)

The List of Influential Laravel Developers by Laracasts

Some people post like 15 tweets at a time, I feel like they invade my twitter flow. I wish there was a limit, like 2 tweets (not counting replies) per hour or something.

Yeah - some people are really frequent posters (and re-posters). After a little bit you can decide whether what they're posting is of value or just noise and un-follow them (or mute them if they're being temporarily noisy to promote something etc). I find that some accounts end up re-tweeting stuff from other people I follow too - I really wish there was a way to hide those.

Then again - sometimes when you want to be distracted for a while having a really noisy feed can be helpful ;-) Nothing worse than wanting to take your mind of things and discovering the internet has gone to sleep ;-)

Spotted another list today too - most of the names have been covered above, but thought I'd mention it in case :

http://laraveldaily.com/15-most-important-laravel-people-to-follow-online/

That's what I'm doing, adding a few people, then removing the spammers, adding a few more :)

I also notice some strange accounts keep following me..

https://www.twitteraudit.com/ was pretty nice, not sure how accurate it is though.

Twitter is such a strange social network. If someone can tell me what was the original purpose of it, that would be great! It seems like no one knows the answer.

I see a lot of interesting stuff on my twitter feed, even though there's a lot of noise and can't read everything.

I post some "OK" stuff? :D https://twitter.com/bbashy

@Ruffles I guess the purpose was to share interesting stuff in a compact way. I've only been using it for a few days and it's somewhat challenging to shorten what you want to say into one tweet, but I think that is the point.

@bashy absolutely, you got +1 follower :)

Hey, what about PHP daily? https://twitter.com/phpdaily_

The RFC bot is pretty useful to keep track of recent updates to PHP RFCs. https://twitter.com/PHPRFCBot
