I thought it might be useful to compile a list of inspirational UXers to follow (for those of you on Twitter). Kind of like eMentors, really.
I really like the tweets of @coburnhawk and [URL=“https://twitter.com/jodiemoule”]@jodiemoule (and @[URL=“https://twitter.com/uxmastery”]uxmastery of course).
So many to choose from! Off the top of my head, three UX folks who I enjoy the writings of (and hence follow on Twitter) are Patrick Neeman (@usabilitycounts), Whitney Hess ([URL=“https://twitter.com/whitneyhess”]@whitneyhess) and Bret Victor ([URL=“https://twitter.com/worrydream”]@worrydream). I don’t know if Bret Victor counts as a “UX guy”. He’s more of a genius design/code/thinking triple act who has come up with some incredible stuff.
I kind of dip in and out of Twitter—a bit like talkback radio. I miss a lot of stuff that flies on past, but I’m not worried about that and don’t try and keep up. 
@karenmcgrane has produced some of the best articles I’ve read on content strategy, definitely worth a follow. Likewise,
@lukew is a must have, especially if facts and figures are your thing.
Here are a few of the UX people/organizations I follow on Twitter:
