Not sure if you're asking about Twitter in general or twitterfeed, but
anyway. I used to think twitter was pretty pointless, but I'm starting
to get what it's all about now. With Google now getting into the live
search thing, it definitely raises awareness on the web in general to
have tweets about a project.
Either one really. :) I'm not sure I get the point of Twitter yet myself.
But the use of Twitterfeed was what I'm really uncertain about. I'd
rather have something semi-automated than have to watch for updates and
twitter them manually. I just changed the Twitterfeed settings a bit, so
that they only twitter the article titles, which should prevent cut off
messages now.
For modules, I'll write a modified RSS feed better suited to Twitter's
constraints. I'm not sure whether updates to beta modules should be
twittered as well.
I'd suggest a shorter hash tag; #sword seems fairly unused. Perhaps we
can all use that for sword and frontend related tweets?
Sounds good. I added a #sword suffix to all of posts coming via Twitterfeed.
