Twitter just launched a new feature called 'Lists', which allow you to create smaller subsets of those you're following. We're embracing this nifty new idea and creating a bunch of Austin-specific lists, both to help us navigate all of our online friends and to help you guys better sort out what's happening locally.
- #ausartists: Any kind of medium is OK
- #auspol: City councilmembers, capitol insiders, lobbyists, political junkies, etc
- #austech: Engineers, code warriors, or people who love shiny gadgets with blinking lights
- #ausbiz: Local businesses
- #ausnonprof: Nonprofit groups of all types
- #ausfoodie: Gourmands, chefs, or people who eat and drink too much for their own good (and aren't ashamed to admit it)
- #ausblog: Anyone who runs a blog, whether it's about your cat, tacos, or both
- #ausbar: Bars and clubs
- #staff: This one's for Austinist writers, editors, and photographers
If you'd like to join any of the following, leave us a comment here, tweet to @austinist with the relevant hashtag(s), DM, or figure out a way to get the info over to us. Feel free to suggest other lists that might be helpful.



I have a blog that generally deals with living with ecological impact in Austin. My twitter handle is @punkgardener. & I'd like to be included in your blogs section.
I would like to be included in #ausblog, my twitter is @apizzagirl, my blog is Diary of A Pizza Girl.
Thanks for setting up these lists! If you want to add me (@anorwood), I'd fall into the #austech and #ausartists lists, and #ausfoodie if you're feeling charitable. Looking forward to finding some new folks to follow...
