San Francisco 49ers: 4 Experts You Need to Follow on Twitter

San Francisco 49ers. Twitter tendency explorations. We can work with this.

For these particular purposes, it’s a really dubious game trying to qualify the “Who’s Who” of social media.

But in this case, these great journalists produce words worthy of collective affection of the masses.

Matt Maiocco @MaioccoCSN

For those unaffiliated with the Bay Area media, this is a fine man with extensive knowledge of all things 49ers.

The former Santa Rosa Press Democrat journalist now covers all things Red and Gold for Comcast SportsNet Bay Area and as the 49ers Insider for 95.7 The Game.

So, why follow him?

Besides the fact that he knows oh so much more than we do, let’s side with knowledge and humor—and yeah, breaking news covering the 49ers that unquestionably runs the gamut of everything legitimate.

Matt Barrows  @mattbarrows

Again, one couldn’t go wrong with this reputable media source of 49ers scoops.

Matt Barrows absolutely tells it how it is—with a touch of expertise, no-nonsense and palatable awesomeness.

“Brandon Jacobs says he hadn't done a squat in six years. This astounds me.”

Yes—this astounds me as well. Quotes like this induce Twitter following.

Duh.

Eric Branch @Eric_Branch

Per the theme of this verbal postulation, Mr. Branch qualifies as yet another exceptional scribe of San Francisco sports happenings.

He knows it, and deserves it.

Kidding aside—well, kidding in mind—I appreciate a man who “played imaginary NFL games by himself in the backyard.”

Once again, he makes mid-May topics compelling when they probably shouldn’t be.

Samuel Lam @SamuelYLam

San Jose State University is a reputable institution. And this man reps it well.

As he does with the Niners.

For NFL events—and 49ers especially—on Twitter, this Spartan is a legit purveyor of news that should be known by all Niner Faithful.

Case in point, he informed the masses of 49ers draft picks before they were even picked.
