Photographers on Twitter Database

Posted by Haje Jan Kamps

Sorry about the twitter-focussed posts as of late; I have been very busy with work (I have to wrap a lot of things up before I’m leaving there to look after Photocritic and being a writer), and I haven’t had much time or energy to do a lot of photography writing.

On the bright side, after the ‘twitter on photography’ thing became so popular, I decided to do a bit of PHP/MySQL magic, and I’ve integrated the list with Twitter itself.

$ earned from this advert will be invested in beer

On The fancy automatic version of my ‘photographers on twitter’ page, you’ll find loads of photographers who use Twitter - and the list is your chance to tap into an exciting, active community of some very talented photographers indeed. And the occasional talentless snapper, too, I guess, but I’ll leave it to you to separate the wheat from the chaff.

So, check out the new twitter photographers page here on Twitter. If you check back often, you’ll be glad to know that I’ve given you the option of sorting by most recent, which should make it easier to find only the photographers who’ve been added to the list since the last time you did a sweep.

Finally, if you want to be added to the list, all you need to do is to follow @TwitTogs - within a few hours, the little robot will do its little robot thing, and you’ll appear on the list :)

Follow me!

You can check the latest of my posts in my sidebar, on Twitter, as an RSS feed, or you can follow me by clicking ‘follow’ on the @photocritic page.

Did you like this post? Stay in touch!

If you liked this post, why not stay in touch with Photocritic going forward?

I'm on Flickr and Twitter, or you could add my RSS feed to your favourite feed reader. Or, if you don't fancy doing any of that, drop us a comment below; you can be anonymous if you want to, but if you add a link to your blog or similar, I'll promise I'll come have a look!

Money made from this advert will be invested in beer.

Crikey, Andrew, you don’t do things by half measures, do you? Fantastic - thanks for contributing!

Everyone: I’ve gone in and edited your comments so they have Twitter links in them, in the cases where you’ve created @photocritic type links. I normally don’t edit my comments, but I figured this was quite a valuable change.

Rock on.

By Andrew Ferguson on March 12th, 2009 (permalink)

Hahaha, yeah I kinda overdid it :P

Thanks for updating the links! I was going to do it, but I just got into the office. Had too much stuff waiting for my attention to go through the process of linking ‘em all.

About

This site is all about learning more about photography, from the incredibly insightful (rarely) to the dreadfully mundane (also, hopefully rarely) via just about everything in between.

If this website seems a little whimsical and random, then that's because the author of this blog, who for the occasion is confusing himself by writing about himself in the third person, is slightly whimsical and random himself.

Enjoy!
