This is a proposal and gathering page to discuss TagChannels for Twitter and not a final document.
This page should capture thoughts and fill out a proposal for TagChannels on Twitter.
The syntax
follow #tag
: subscribe to all updates tagged with #tagfollow username#tag
: subscribe to all updates tagged with #tag from a specific userleave #tag
: unsubscribe to a tag; you will still get updates with this tag from your friendsleave username#tag
: unsubscribe to a specific from a specific userremove #tag
: completely remove all incoming posts tagged with #tag, even from your friends#tag message
: creates a status in the #tag channel#tag !message
: creates a status that is only visible to people subscribed to channel tag #tag
Ideas
- Feeds for #tagchannels would be a no brainer making it really easy to follow certain topics without having to follow everyone posting on the topic
- It'd be very easy to capture status updates about events if a tag is set before the event... for example #sxsw or #barcamp
- Rather than messing up your friends list with Twitter deal accounts (cpcoupon, applestuff, dealtwit, amazondeals, etc), you could simply follow #deals if they all use the #deals tag convention.
