10 Twitter Accounts Every WordPress User Needs to Follow

The post 10 Twitter Accounts Every WordPress User Needs to Follow appeared first on HostGator Blog.

Twitter is a goldmine of expert information. It doesn’t matter what you want to learn. If you conduct a quick Twitter search, you’ll instantaneously be knees deep in advice from industry pros.

But here’s the thing.

Since Twitter has nearly 200 million users, it’s easy to get lost or find yourself falling deeper and deeper into a Twitter black hole.

In an effort to save you from too many cute pet videos, schadenfreude, and other fun time wasters when you’re looking for professional WordPress information, we’ve compiled a list of the top WordPress users to follow.

So, buckle up, create your first Twitter list, and add the following 10 accounts.

1. @WordPress

It would be silly to start with any account other than the official WordPress Twitter account itself.

The WordPress Twitter account should be your go-to for all the latest and greatest updates in the WordPress world.

WordPress tweets out all of the following useful information on the regular:

General WordPress updates
WordPress.org blog posts
WordPress security and maintenance releases
WordPress user success stories (these are my personal favorite)
New episodes of the WordPress podcast, Who is WordPress?
Monthly WordPress newsletter
WordPress tips

If @WordPress isn’t at the top of your Twitter list, follow the account immediately.

2. @MaddyOsman

I don’t want to brag, but Maddy Osman follows me on Twitter. We follow each other. It’s a beautiful online friendship. You know, the kind of friendship where I benefit from everything she tweets.

Anyway, Maddy Osman is THE freelance writer to follow if you’re interested in WordPress trends.

She writes for popular WordPress brands and keeps current on everything WordPress. Plus, she shares her knowledge of the WordPress world with the likes of you and me.

Here are some things you can expect when you follow Maddy:

Go follow @MaddyOsman.

3. @wptavern

If there is one thing 2020 taught us, it’s that it’s perfectly acceptable to day drink during work hours. Okay, I’m not sure whether or not this is true, but based on the WordPress Tavern website, I bet they wouldn’t judge (see image below).

Here’s what you can expect from WordPress Tavern:

Deep analysis on WordPress features and updates
Google updates that could affect your website
WordPress theme update analysis and how it affects website owners
Relevant whitepapers
WordPress design how-tos
Cool plugins every WP user should know about
And more!

So, open your favorite can of beer—root beer allowed—follow @WPTavern on Twitter, and start browsing their Tweets.
