And Twitter. [3] https://twitter.com/ooRexxDev
I set this up about three years ago as it is easier to monitor twitter, for announcements or other short communications, than other media. It is light weight to use and you have to reveal very little private information to create an account. It is fairly easy to send automated messages, for example the build machine could tweet if the nightly builds failed.
