Are you looking for great insights, well-researched articles or some inspiration in the realm of UX, then Twitter is a great tool. Of course, finding the right people to follow can be somewhat cumbersome. That is why I curated a list of 21 UX experts who inspire me and keep me up to date with the latest UX news!

Jeff Sauro

Who. Jeff Sauro is the founding principal of MeasuringU, a company providing statistics and usability consulting to Fortune 1000 companies. He specializes in making statistical concepts understandable and actionable. Jeff has published over fifteen peer-reviewed research articles and presents tutorials and papers regularly at the leading Human Computer Interaction conferences.

Why. Jeff Sauro doesn’t have a personal Twitter account but MeasuringU has. You can expect tweets being send out with a rapid pace and always field related!

Don Norman

Why. Who doesn’t want to listen to someone with a vast amount of experience in UX? Incredibly interesting person, which is why you should follow him right now!

Luke Wroblewski

Earlier he was the CEO and Co-founder of Polar (acquired by Google in 2014) and the Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder of Bagcheck (acquired by Twitter in 2011). Prior to that, Luke was the Chief Design Architect (VP) at Yahoo!, Lead User Interface Designer at eBay, and a Senior Interface Designer at NCSA. He is also the author of three popular Web design books.

Why. Luke is well known in the UX community because of his experience and track record. His tweets are a great reflection of that!

He has written the current incarnation of the Bokardo blog for six years with articles about interface design, social interaction, identity, recommendations and other issues related to design. He is also the co-founder of 52 Weeks of UX, a premier UX blog with a strong readership of over 10,000 UX professionals.

    It is amazing that LinkedIn drags me out to the AppStore to get their app when all I want to do is open a URL from the email it sent me.

  2. Ow, I see. I read the story on Linkedin and wanted to read the entire article. One of the things that drives me bonkers as well! I hope you liked the article though.
