BASE Twitter Account

[Jorge Ortiz]

Today I realized the Norwegian Scala User Group has a Twitter account (http://twitter.com/scalabin) and we don't.

This is unacceptable.

So I've made an account for us. http://twitter.com/scalabase

Follow BASE and BASE will follow you back.

And now a question for you: Should it be used just for BASE announcements, or would you like to see other Scala-related stuff tweeted too?

I would say that anything and everything Scala related is fair game on the account - is there any way other people can post to the twitter account as well? It would be nice to get enough traffic that a lot of people would follow it?

Cheers

Dick

Yes! That's an excellent idea.

Whoever wants posting privileges should contact me off-list jorge...@gmail.com

What about a bot account? Maybe it could search Twitter for #scala or
some more complicated query, and re-post what it finds? Of course the
bot would have to be written in Scala. Of course manual posts can be
made, too.

Hi folks - I have been meaning to ask - did anything come of this? I love the idea of being able to twitter scala stuff, but I am not sure how I would go about setting up a masquerade to be able to twitter as "scala".

Cheers
