Show HN: Apps Only, a Twitter account for great apps and nothing else

We read HN mostly for the Rate my Startup posts and the announcements of cool new apps. We thought, "wouldn't it be nice if there was one place that announced those, and didn't focus on politics and funding like TechCrunch?" and so we made Apps Only - https://twitter.com/#!/appsonly. Apps Only covers only new apps, with an extreme focus on product.

We only tweet something if we've used and loved it ourselves. Enjoy!

Who decides what's great? Why do they get to decide? Why not just standardize around a hash tag?

We think we are more obsessed with apps than pretty much anyone, so others might want to see what we have to say. What are the main hashtags for this purpose right now? That sounds like a good idea, too.

I think it is good idea as the official Apple's AppStore twitter account doesn't cover all the great apps.
