#ask-ih: Would you use a Twitter engagement pod service?

Question: If there was a way for you to team up with other writers around specific hashtags to automatically seed your engagement (likes and retweets) on Twitter when you share your articles, would you be interested in such a service?

Example: you and other people who write about #ContentMarketing would team up so that whenever anyone in your group tweets with that hashtag, you all retweet and/or like the tweet to help get the ball rolling.

I'm working on this and am looking for interested beta testers.

    I would be interested in this. My use case is to basically kick start Twitter from scratch. Being very late to the Twitter party I'm looking for tools/tactics to help bootstrap a following.

    A pod/community of people group by interest/industry to start with would be valuable.

      Thanks James! This will definitely help you out. It's already built so you can start trying it out before we launch: https://pensignal.com/beacons. Subscribe to https://www.producthunt.com/upcoming/signal-beacon to know when we launch.

    I would be very interested in this service, as it could get you over the critical mass needed to get going. One problem though, doesn't this violate the Twitter terms of service?

      Thanks. Check out https://www.producthunt.com/upcoming/signal-beacon.

      As for TOS, not that I know of. I don't see anything at https://twitter.com/en/tos. Their API allows it, so I don't see any problems here.
