Justyn
· 7 months ago
Thanks for the mention Joey - we like to think we're on to something as well! The reason we built Twindexx was to take the concept of endorsing other Twitter users to a more useful level. FollowFriday is great, but we felt there should be context. Why are you telling me to follow this person? What are they good at? Our timelines are cluttered as it is, so we wanted a way to help users find the best people to follow based on suggestions from the crowd.
We're still brand-new and still developing a lot of new features. We hope everyone enjoys the site and continues to come up with new ways to use Twitter!
I still think there should be #artThursday .. where we share art and photography. No one has picked it up yet but me. Goes good with #thankfulthursday + Real World artists tend to exhibit their work on Thursdays.
you guys forgot #ferrisfriday - tweet your favourite quote from Ferris Buelleur

#tacotuesday anyone? Or is that a British thing? I've seen it mostly among the UK people I follow, with a few Americans going along.

As a Brit, I just want to clarify #nopantstuesday - I'm guessing this means no jeans or trousers, but want to check in case this trend goes international and I find myself on the tube surrounded by underwearless twitterers.

You forgot about #themethursday, links on a certain topic every fortnight. for designers and developers
Just to note - You don't have to use the # sign or put it at the end of a Tweet, use a term anywhere and that post will show up in Twitter Search for the term. Same with @ signs, the person will still show up in search.

This is interesting - it's not really any different from traditional media programming tactics - say, ESPN's BIG MONDAY or ABC's MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, NBC's Must See TV on Thursdays. Ownable, repeatable events. It's just been opened up for participation...we're all programmers now.

I think I've inadvertently just created another meme (yep, you heard it here on Mashable first!). It's called #FunFriday. Let's just say that it intended to spread a little laughter or at least a good chuckle around the twittersphere at the end of each week. Studies have shown that laughter is very good for our health (see: http://bit.ly/lLumm ) so I guess this makes #FunFriday a healthy meme!
Here's my tweet that launched #FunFriday:
@AAinslie Recession 'boosts Y-front sales' providing "greater sense of security" ;) http://bit.ly/ag0eJ - #FunFriday [via @BBC] 21 minutes ago from bit.ly
If you like the concept, then please ReTweet #FunFriday and help birth a movement to get people to end their week on a lighter note so that they may spend better quality time with their families.
If anyone cares to follow me you are welcome to do so @AAinslie
I tweet about #Markets #OSS #FOSS #OpenSource #OnlineGaming #OnlineGiving #Gambling #Tech #Causes #QRCodes #Paris #Andorra #Milwaukee & other bits!

"Daily memes" suck. They're excuses for people who have no idea of their own to fill the timeline with low-signal messages. If I wanted an endless stream of clichéd thoughts, I'd be on LiveJournal.
Also (and I keep saying this), hashtags are a dead end. Author-generated metadata is inherently untrustworthy. Any system dependent on self-tagging will eventually collapse from abuse and namespace collisions. That's why nobody trusts keywords in the HTML "meta" element anymore. Anybody treating hastags as the long-term solution to a problem is a fool.

MichaelWaisJr
· 7 months ago
Don't forget that if you're looking for #MusicMonday musicians to tweet, seek the #trakz hash-tag that I've started with @gcn1 on Twitter.
The #trakz hash-tag is my invention, but it is inspired and derived from the spreadsheet wholly developed, originated, and dreamed-up by @gcn1. (I had nothing at all to do with the spread-sheet except for requesting a couple of additions to the musicians on it.)
This table from @gcn1 has EVERYTHING! It's not a "celebrities-to-ogle-on-twitter-list" like some amateur irrelevant listings. Instead, this spreadsheet is literally a producer's wet-dream...
Please send a message to @gcn1 directly if you have any suggestions for additions, since if you post suggestions for musicians to add to the thread itself the suggestions won't be received. (The thread is about the spreadsheet itself.)
MichaelWaisJr
· 7 months ago
Dammit! I've lost my touch. Glad I checked the URL afterward.
The thread about @gcn1's list of musicians you can find for #MusicMonday is on the thread "Everything Musical On Twitter" under the "Music" section of the public site forum.nin.com . There, hope that helps.
#Traveltuesday is the newest trend on Tuesday's! Find out answers to any travel related questions, learn tons from trivia, and meet really awesome travel tweeters!

Easily the worst post I have ever seen on mashable, not to mention the worst idea on twitter so far?
#followfriday, original and great, even if it can be problematic.
But the rest are just poor, if you want to recommend someone do it, you don't need to add a hashtag and a day!!!
Don Shapiro
· 7 months ago
Ahhhh....the forces of change. This mashable blog did not create these hashmarks. It is simply reporting a growing phenomena on Twitter. This is mutating and transforming everyday and it is a good thing. Not all the # are good of course. But out of this people are creating new ways to see running post on a single topic. The users are creating this. Not Twitter. Not mashable. This is a grass roots effort.
And here is the big thing. You can't create this type of tag links with a rolling post in Facebook, LinkedIn, Myspace or anywhere else. I personally think this is the type of thing that separates Twitter from all the rest. You just have to pick the ones you like. I like #musicmonday. That's great. I have just created one of my own #betterworld where people can Tweet about ways to make our world better. We can change the world one Tweet at a time. Can't do that on any other social media.
This isn't about just recommending a person, a song or a common idea. Yes, you can do that now. This is about being able to easily search for everyone who is also Tweeting on the same subject. That is what makes this so powerful and unique in social networking.

A new (i.e. after this post was written) good one is #charitytuesday
Made me think perhaps I should start #MoreThanProfitMonday for social enterprises/ ethical business etc. Or perhaps #ForBenefitFriday. That is shorter at least.
Or #SocEntSat but I don't think the weekend ones work as well - most people are still online 9-5, Mon-Fri, i.e. at work.
What do you think?
