Twitter Hash Tags for Designers and Developers

I’ve collected a few twitter accounts together that retweet certain #hashtags that you apply to your tweets, id reccomend adding one or two to the end of your tweets of the related subject.

The people who are following these accounts can then see your tweets which could mean some much more targeted traffic, here are the ones that i found.

  5. Very useful, which I knew this while I was designing and developing my wordpress theme this week. I have tweets’o'plenty about that.

  6. Twitter is an incredible tool and means to communicate although I find there is also a load of inane relaying of comments (tweets) between followers most of the time. People are tweeting for the sake of tweeting to gain popularity and the value of the tweets leaves much to be desired. Quality tweets seem to be the exception. As with everything – quality is everything.

  7. Twitter is very addictive. I like Twitter more than blogging. the messages are short and straight to the point.

  8. A very useful list of hashtags – and there’s one more that I’d like to put forward for your consideration: hashtwitspam.

    This is a service run by Charles Yeo for the purpose of reporting and blocking spammers – and once an account receives sufficient blocks, Twitter will suspend it.

    All you have to do is follow twitbroom, tweet him the spammer’s name (without the “at” sign in front of it), and end the tweet with hashtwitspam to make sure as many people as possible will see your tweet and act on it.

    It only takes a moment, and it helps to kick the spammers out of Twitter.

  11. I think that it is a good thing that twitter are pushing boundaries, I don’t believe that it is going to lead to spam and its demise, instead it will allow users to reach a wider audience.

  12. I don’t get the whole hashtag thing right now. I understand the concept but to be honest I find re-tweeting interesting stuff has almost as much effect as Hashtag tweets do.

    Both allow the tweet to spread virally and build you cudos for the added exposure.

  13. Great resource list. On the one hand, though, I do wonder if this is spamming Twitter in a way that will help destroy it. On the other, Twitterers who blindly Retweet anything with a specific hash tag are asking for trouble.

  21. Great little article. I know of a Twitter account that re-tweets anything Irish or Gaelic, as well as one that re-tweets posts containing the word “horny” but so far nothing as useful as this. :)

    Thanks tonnes. I have been wondering about the importance of hashtags vs plain text since both are searched or show up in Trending Topics but this has its benefits I guess.
