Welcome to Game Industry Tweet, the site that seeks to help connect video game industry professionals with one another and with their fans. We have curated the following lists which include various parts of the video game industry:

• Video Game Companies on Twitter (includes individual developers)
• Video Game Press on Twitter

If you would like to contact us to submit more names we have created specific email accounts for each category and they are linked on each category page.

Every update that goes into the site will be accompanied by a blog post which highlights all the new names that were in that most recent update.  Please subscribe to our RSS feed so that you can stay up on all the latest Game Developers and Press that are on Twitter

Please visit QforQ.com, the blog run by Sam Houston (creator of this site) which features many helpful articles on how to best use social media as a video game professional.

Things have changed quite a bit for me in the past year since GameIndustryTweet launched.  Ironically, I started my job as Senior Social Media Marketing Coordinator on the anniversary of the original Twitter List blog post.  I owe a lot to this list and the support given to it – so it’s only right that I update it.

Hoping to update the list gradually as the days go by for the foreseeable future.  Thank you everyone for your patience – It is appreciated!

Thanks,

Sam Houston
