Biz journalists on Time’s list of best Twitter feeds

At least nine business journalists made the list of Time magazine’s 140 best Twitter feeds to follow.

They included CNBC.com’s John Carney. Time wrote, “Editor of CNBC.com’s NetNet blog, Carney concerns himself first and foremost with the high drama of Wall Street, but tweets on all business-related news as well – often with his tongue firmly in cheek.”

For Business Insider’s Joe Weisenthal, Time wrote, “The hardest-working man in financial news is tweeting out the latest consumer confidence data before you’ve had your morning cup of coffee, and movements in overseas markets long after you’ve gone to bed. Amazingly, he still has time to mount a defense of the trillion-dollar platinum coin somewhere in between.”

The Wall Street Journal’s Kelli Grant is on the list. Time wrote, “This Wall Street Journal consumer reporter offers a smart take on the best ways to spend and save. Grant balances links to her articles with personal anecdotes about her cats and upcoming wedding.”

For New York magazine’s Kevin Roose, Time wrote, “New York Magazine’s Kevin Roose breaks down business and technology news for people who don’t follow those topics closely. On Twitter, he adds a level of snark by calling out companies, consumers and everyone in between.”

For All Thing’s D’s Kara Swisher, Time wrote, “Founder and co-executive editor of AllThingsD.com, as well as a Wall Street Journal columnist, Swisher offers smart tweets on technology and startups.”

ABC News technology editor Joanna Stern is also listed. Time wrote, “The technology editor at ABC News, Stern chronicles all things gadgets with dedication and humor. Her feed is full of pop culture confessions, social media banter and misadventures with Vine.”

For The Verge’s Josh Topolsky, Time wrote, “Topolsky is the editor and co-founder of The Verge, a site that covers the intersection of technology and arts. His Twitter feed does the same with dispatches from TED, an early hands-on look at Google Glass and live tweets on the Oscars and Super Bowl.”

For ZDNet’s Ed Bott, Time wrote, “An award-winning author and journalist, Bott has owned the Microsoft, Windows and Office beat for much of his career. On Twitter, he doesn’t just bring experience, he’s got plenty of snark, too.”

Chicago Sun-Times tech columnist Andy Ihnatko is also on the list. Time wrote, “A tech columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times, Ihnatko’s twitter feed keeps tabs on mobile gadgets, future innovations and pop culture for his 70,000 followers.”
