About six months ago we compiled a list of 15 of our favorite Twitter users for keeping tabs on the consumer tech industry in Asia.
Now, we’re coming back with more choice figures to follow. Below are our recommendations for people that will fill your TweetDeck columns with choice nuggets of Asia tech goodness.
1. Bernard Leong (@bleongcw)
Leong is a man-about-town in Singapore’s active tech entrepreneurship scene. In addition to acting as vice president of digital services at Singapore post, the country’s postal service, he also works as an angel investor and hosts the new Analyse.Asia podcast. On Twitter, Leong is more of a linker and retweeter than a commentator, but given how it’s easy to suffer from information overload, an endorsement from Leong means a piece is worth reading.

2. Bryan Ma (@bryanbma)
VP of client devices research at IDC in Singapore, Ma is relatively new to Twitter, but he’s moved up the steep learning curve quickly. Follow his feed for great statistics on device sales and shipments in Asia, along with local insights and commentary from Southeast Asia.
2M stuffed Xiaomi bunnies this yr? Sounds funny but they might have fatter margins on those than on their phones RE https://t.co/s1ilcS0VKk — Bryan Ma (@bryanbma) September 23, 2014
3. Chad Catacchio (@chadcat)
Catacchio works from Wuhan as an editor for Circa, the news aggregation and summary app. As an employee for a sexy Silicon Valley startup with experience living in the heart of the Middle Kingdom, Catacchio is just as savvy about the east as he is the west, and will get chummy with the best scrappy bloggers, seasoned journalists, eager startupers, and China hands that Twitter has to offer.
