100 Learning Professionals to follow in 2009

In September 2008 Jane Hart created a list of 100+ learning professionals to follow on Twitter.  This grew into the Twitter Directory (now renamed Connexions: Directory of Learning Professionals Online).  But here is my selection of 100 learning professionals that will provide you with information, inspiration and/or interaction on a range of educational and workplace learning topics from around the world - via their blog, on Twitter or on other social networks.  Listed in alphabetical order by surname together with their Top 10 Tools for Learning (where contributed).

Carmen Holotescu has created a TweepML of this list.
