Twitter accounts of UML, modeling and model-driven engineering tools
So far, I have detected the following "official" twitter accounts of UML, modeling or MDD tools (and by official I mean a twitter account of the tool itself, not a twitter account of a tool developer; I'm looking for twitter accounts that focus on announcing new releases of the tool, new features, application examples,... i.e. low-noise accounts), in no particular order:
- IBM Rational Software: @IBMRational
- MagicDraw UML: @MagicDrawUML

No two programmers use the same notation (experiment)
Zuzel Vera Pacheco, a Master Student at the University of Toronto under the supervision of Greg Wilson has been working on the Back-annotation of data models at run-time . For a short description of her project see also this presentation on slideshare.
Bill Gates says that better software modeling is the solution
to many hard problems, from using nuclear power to combating diseases. He also said that it´s surprising that there's no disease-modeling software and, more importantly, he aims to make sure that gap is filled, supporting development of the tools needed to do such modeling.
Gates plans to offer up the modeling software package for free for others to use. He conceded that the models never get things right exactly, but he said, "You are a hundred times smarter doing it that way than just going out there (without such models)."
