Twitter continues to expand and evolve at a rapid rate - there are signs of a shift in the demographic profile of Twitter users around the world.

Here are some of the economics resources I track using Twitter. My own home page is here.

Kevin Hinde (Durham Univ)
Tim Harford
Paul Krugman
Edmund Conway (Daily Telegraph)
Graham Ritchie (Banff and Buchan College)
John Gapper (Financial Times)
The Economist
The Guardian
OECD Economics
International Monetary Fund
Jodie Beggs (Econ Girl)

I am interested in hearing about how economics teachers might be making use of Twitter in their teaching. This excellent post provides advice for 100 Serious Twitter Tips for Academics
