Dealmaker Media

In passionate pursuit of what’s happening in mobile tech, Twitter helps many of us act as ‘first responders.’

Over the last 3 months, the Dealmaker Media team has hacked through hundreds of mobile companies preparing for Under the Radar.

140 characters may not seem like a lot to work with, but tweets are an effective way to connect innovators with companies solving big problems on small screens.

Getting ready for #utr, we figured it’s time to share the goods. Here’s a short list of the people on Dealmaker’s Twitter radar

Some are companies, some are individuals,  some are developer programs, some are folks employed by organizations, some are analysts, some are bloggers, some are enthusiasts, some are Twitter arms of new media outlets, but all use their Twitter power for providing content value.

Here’s the list, with corresponding follower headcounts (current as of 3pm PDT today – follower counts may have changed since publication).

A quick disclaimer: Review the numbers with a grain of salt – I don’t consider follower numbers the primary indicator of a valuable Tweet. It’s more about what you tweet than how many people follow you…

That said, here’s the list – drumroll please…

Currently I just have a small number of professional followers, but fortunately some of them are on this list. :) My topic is accessibility for mobile users with handicaps. Focussed on blindness/eyes-free related accessibility problems, I try to cover other disabilities, illiteracy and dyslexia as well. Unfortunately, the whole issue seems to be a niche topic at the moment, although there are many many people with such handicaps around the globe. If you want to learn more about mobile accessibility, please read my tweets and follow the links:
