In September we listed our first post of recommended sports/tech Twitter users to follow, and built on that last month with another set of recommended Tweeters in our space. We received another great round of feedback and recommendations for more, so we wanted to list 10 more handles that provide insightful original sports tech content.
This list, by no means exhaustive, is just meant to hit the different trending fields within our niche subject matter across a diverse smattering of people and affiliations. We hope to put out a list of people to follow on a consistent basis, so if you have suggestions or want to be featured, let us know!
And as always, we will continue the comprehensive sports tech coverage over at @SportTechie.
