HN. Let's share Twitter accounts

33 pointsgothep88 comments

There is a lot of really interesting and inspiring people Hacker News and I would love to have more of you, and the products of your brilliant minds in my Twitter feed. So care to share yours!

PS. I live and thrive at: https://twitter.com/gopatrik

Personal account: http://twitter.com/danlev

My LGBT rights site's account: http://twitter.com/equaldex

Equaldex is one of my favorite new things. A lot of the other sites like Out and Advocate are too spammy. I've got Facebook notifications set up for it, and all I get is actual news.

Wow, thank you so much! Glad to hear! Are you mostly referring to the news share through Equaldex's social media accounts (mostly syndicated from http://equaldex.com/news)? Or the site itself?

The news. I don't get much use out of the site.

My space news website account: https://twitter.com/spaceindnews I post a few times a day at the most about space news, mainly astronomy.

Whoa... I got so many awesome suggestions from twitter after I followed you :) Thanks for that!

Glad I could help. I follow some very interesting and "nerdy" people :)

Mainly tech/programming related, few jokes, witty (i hope) remarks and the occasional retwitted quote: https://twitter.com/uraimo

And, if anyone is interested, a few years ago this guy made a list of HNer accounts here: https://twitter.com/tlrobinson/lists/hackernews

Mine is https://twitter.com/iTrendTV

mostly updates for my analytics startup, plus interesting patterns extracted from Twitter etc

P.S. blocked by Marc Andreessen https://mobile.twitter.com/iTrendTV/lists/people-blocked-by-...

I'm at https://twitter.com/chewxy.

I mostly tweet about things I find interesting but can't be arsed to write about in my blog (http://blog.chewxy.com).

Topics I've covered: programming (Go, Python, occasional rants on JS), coffee, economics, stats..

https://twitter.com/stephen_mcd - hit me up, lots of open source

I tweet at https://twitter.com/AustinDizzy

On the interesting scale, I'd be a "meh." I do lots of information security, currently for a top-tier university. And I'm also a contracted web developer, currently specializing in Node.js and Go. So that's something.

Howdy, I'm @chasing / http://twitter.com/chasing

I don't tweet about tech, generally. It's mostly just jokey personal communication. (Mixed in, lately, with a fair amount of complaining at my home internet provider...)

I retweet mostly at https://twitter.com/Su

Sweet handle!

Sell that handle for $$$$ ;)

No personal account yet, but tweeting about computer science and math issues on behalf of our education organization. Looking for interesting people/projects to follow.

http://twitter.com/codygman

My interests are mostly "real world" functional programming and leveraging it (Haskell mainly atm) to make better software. I repost (mostly programming) humor stuff too.

http://twitter.com/CavemanKlaus - Quantified Self, quantified comms/relationships, sociology, computational linguistics, psychology, transhumanist, Kiwi living in London.

https://twitter.com/mkronline

I don't tweet as much on it these days, and I don't think the one I focus on now would be of interest to most HNers.

https://twitter.com/chrisbiscardi

Haskell, JavaScript, YouTube, building things.

(Willing to help anyone learning Haskell. Just tweet at me.)

Tech stuff account which I woke up yesterday: https://twitter.com/area51research

I tweet tech news and my thought stream while programming

https://twitter.com/alexbrasetvik - mostly tidbits related to Elasticsearch and distributed systems, with a hint of skydiving.

https://twitter.com/mufid

Mostly tweet about "funny" development-related things i found when coding, in Bahasa Indonesia.

Mine is http://twitter.com/HendX

Mainly about iOS/Android development. About to release first game so a bit about that too.

I'm http://twitter.com/smayzes I usually tweet mostly about web development, devops and sometimes a little bit of hockey.

https://twitter.com/patrickcurl -- I tweet about startups, coding, seo, online marketing, entrepreneurial stuff, etc...

I don't use Twitter because I don't want to support centralized social networks, but I publish to my website much the same as others use Twitter - short links, notes, occasional blog posts:

http://minglis.id.au/

I post about technology, Australian politics, programming, privacy, and other generally interesting stuff. There are separate Atom feeds for each of the separate sections: links, notes or blog.

I'll get around to setting up POSSE [0] to Twitter some day - I'll have to move off Github Pages first.

[0]: http://indiewebcamp.com/POSSE

What's a good alternative to "centralized social networks"? Atom feed clients?

The web is a decentralized social network; everyone should have their own website, owning their data and content. Feeds (authenticated and public) can replicate the explicit social graphs of Twitter, Facebook et al.

Regrettably, setting up a website is still too hard for most people - but it's never been easier, too. If you're reading Hacker News, you should be able to do it.

Read the IndieWebCamp website for more: https://indiewebcamp.com/

I used to run my own website and blog all the time. Then I stopped and jumped onto the whole social media bandwagon, because i thought it would be easier and I lost my domain. Now i've gone completely in the opposite direction and decided to write my own framework for my own site and as a result I still don't blog but at least I have my very own half-baked framework.

Meanwhile i'm still surprised the 'independent web' is a thing. Like people 'rediscovering' static html sites. Makes me feel old.

If you look at the projects from IndieWebCamp people, you'll see they're about much more than just static HTML sites. They're working on tools that enable social networking based on simple standards-based websites - similar to your framework, perhaps?

IMHO, the ideas of the IndieWebCamp people will last far longer than those of the other so-called "decentralized" social networking projects. I'm confident that (1) my kid(s) will have a HTML website, and (2) they'll never have heard of Diaspora or Pump.io. I hope that, by that time, Twitter and Facebook will only be used by Granny and Granddad, if at all.

>They're working on tools that enable social networking based on simple standards-based websites - similar to your framework, perhaps?

I wrote my own thin API[0] for livejournal and a page scraper[1] to manage crossposting to livejournal and profiling links (like facebook) without wordpress or third party services, so I definitely get the 'IndieWeb' ethos. I like the idea of having your own site and broadcasting to social media rather than the other way around. Writing your own code and being able to do things yourself is very liberating. It just seems weird to me to think of owning your own content on the web as a progressive, pseudo-revolutionary movement because it seems like only yesterday that's just the way things were.

[1](https://github.com/kennethrapp/embedbug) -- beware if you play around with this one because it's messy and the documentation is practically nonexistent. Because i'm lazy.

There are many good alternatives to centralized social networks:

Diaspora: https://diasporafoundation.org/ pump.io: http://pump.io/ GNUSocial: http://gnu.io/social/ Friendica: http://friendica.com/

Of course, you're bound to find a much geekier crowd here than twitter, G+, etc... but, that shouldn't matter too much to HN readers. ;)

Hopefully twister takes off. http://twister.net.co/
