It’s Friday again, and in this week’s #FollowFriday blog post/list of mine I’d like to turn the spotlight to some of the top usability experts out there.
As often is the case with these lists that I put together, the below one shouldn’t be read as any kind of ranking, but just as a compilation of useful Twitter accounts to follow on the topic.

If I have missed your favorite usability expert or a must-follow account that is actively tweeting on this topic, please do post about them below.
Thanks for the mention, Geno. I really do appreciate it. I would also recommend Jared Spool (@jmspool) for your list 🙂 Also, just as a FYI, you can follow Blink Interactive at @BlinkUX, I am planning on expanding the content depth and frequency for that twitter account. 🙂
Thanks for the suggestions, Nick, and I’ve just hyperlinked the Twitter handles you’ve mentioned. Keep on tweeting the good stuff!
Seconding Jared Spool. I would also include Cia Romano at Interface Guru (@ciaromano). Tons of solid work and research, focusing on touchscreens, kiosks, and media properties.
Susan Weinschenk, Luke Wreblowsli, Jared Spool, Jakob Neilsen, Bruce Tognazini too might just fit the bill. Hope this helped.
Dan, Sachin, thank you for these great suggestions. I’ve linked all of the ones I could find on Twitter. Could you please provide Twitter handles of the 3 I couldn’t locate?
