I have been thinking about this, and I think:
1. Twitter is browsed by people who will see web2py news who otherwise might not; 2. Twitter is a service - and web2py can post thru that service (just like posting an email to a blog account) - it is a convenience, and no problem; no need to create, host, maintain another news application (if you don't want to) 3. YOU CAN ALREADY USE RSS SUBSCRIPTION TO THE TWITTER NEWS - so no need to "choose"; here is the RSS feed for web2py on twitter.com: http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/28596592.rss 4. A LOT of people from PyCon (e.g. Python-istas) are on twitter; for now, it's a good place. There is the RSS - I think we can leave this in peace for now; there are other things to focus on.
