MeFi twitter feeds?

March 9, 2013 3:47 AM

Is there a list of official twitter feeds? Failing that is there a list of decent unofficial ones? I have discovered #metafilter which appears to be an official occasional 'best of', #mefiblue and #mefigreen which seem to be unofficial.

Those are the only ones I know of. You can find a list of mefites who have included their twitter on their profile page here.

@metafilter is the only official MetaFilter Twitter account. The others accounts mentioned are by others.

A couple weeks ago I started testing the MeFi Popular Posts feed. It only tweets out posts as they hit the Popular page, maybe 2-3 per day hit it, often useful Ask MeFi stuff. Try it out!

@AnonymousAskMe is an unofficial feed of all anonymously posted AskMeFi questions.

There's an @mefi_tweed too. I typed metafilter into the search box on twitter.com and most of the feeds mentioned so far came up came. And, the '#'s in my question should have been '@'s.

A good one: @Mefi_Blue to receive a tweet with title every time there is a FPP to The Blue.

Matt, you have a link on the Twitter page to http://www.metafilter.com/popular/, but if you follow that link, it doesn't work.

Thanks for the heads up, that link should be showing the Popular Favorites page now.

Yes, it works! And speaking of the Popular Favorites page, I wonder if it would make sense to put headers on each column, "Posts" for the left and "Comments" for the right. I know the lead-in description mentions each type, but as someone who actually had never used the PF page (in all my years here, oddly enough), it wasn't instantly apparent to me what was going on with the two-column format. And a newcomer might well be much more baffled.
