The device updates itself, no Twitter account needed. Just type ATUPDATECHECK to see if there's a new update. I don't see any good coming of presuming that any hobbyist/enthusiast who designs something and makes it available to the community for essentially cost is on the hook for corporate-level customer service. Everyone who owns one has a way to check for updates, there's no real advantage conferred by knowing there's an update prior to the next connection of the device.
