Bill Ackman, one of the most famous hedge fund managers and founder of Pershing Square Capital, joined twitter last week.

We asked Business Insider journalists to give us their must-follow tweeters for a mix of sharp analysis, killer humor, serious personality, and breakthrough insight.

If you want to see to all their tweets at once, you can follow the full list on Twitter here.

This is an updated version of last year's list, written by Lucinda Shen and Linette Lopez, which you can find here.
