I’ve curated what I intend to be the definitive list of Twitter employees on G+. See which Twitter employees are on G+ and add them to your circles.
I think it’s interesting to see how they are (or are not) using G+. And what they’re saying about it.
Me? I’ve been using Twitter since early 2007. I’m finding that the more I use G+, the less I’m using Twitter.
How about you? As you spend more time on G+, are you spending less time on Twitter? Is Google+ your new home?
Find this list interesting? Please share it and comment.
Want to add me to your circles on Google Plus? I’m at: http://gplus.to/davideckoff
Who did I miss who I should add? Anything that needs to be updated? Please let me know in the comments!

Thanks to journalist Craig Kanalley for the inspiration for this post, with his posts “Googlers on Google+” and “List of Facebook employees on G+“.
Work at Twitter? THANK YOU for all you do! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Twitter during the past 5 years.
