25 Twitter Feeds Every Oracle User Should Follow

Everybody talks about Twitter, but few of us have arranged our ?following? list so that it?s #justright. The purpose of this post is to tell you that it?s OK to drop @ladygaga (39,518,575 followers) and @KimKardashian (sadly, only 18,293,384) and instead load up on the technically astute epigrams sourced from the fingertips of Oracle Oracle experts.

I?m not talking only company-approved feeds, either. (We?ll get to those, later.) There?s a whole community of Twitterers I?ve dubbed the ?Oraclerati??like digerati except without the overweaning sense of self-importance?who provide the best insight anywhere on analytics, big data, cloud, customer experience, engineered systems, and human capital management.

True, it?s an anecdotally vetted list?I picked it. Note that some of these folks are undiscovered gems?I?m talking about you, @eddieawad and @sudip_dat. They don?t have many followers yet, but deliver value and thus deserve attention. So, consider this list a great starting point if you?re intent on getting your Oracle on.

Plus, thanks to Twitter?s ?embed? feature, you can click on the actual links in the graphics throughout this article to follow the folks I?ve mentioned.

We?ll start with a selection of Oracle authorities; some work at the company, others are independent. That?ll be followed by a list of selected company-sanctioned feeds. I?ll conclude with a thinly veiled appeal for my fellow OracleVoice bloggers. Oh, and did I mention: The opinions expressed on Twitter by people who work for Oracle are entirely their own and not necessarily those of Oracle.
