You're mentioning a retweet, but I think you mean more of a repost. I'm not saying whether we want to do it this way or not, but if we did, it should be fairly easy to script a repost as it would just use the twitter api's to connect. Tweets can easily be transmitted via command line, not just via a GUI client. So the answer to your clarified question is yes, its possible. But we just have to decide if that's what we want to do and if so, how do we want to implement it? > IMO this could be a very powerful resource but needs a more strategic > plan to use it and get better results from that, nothing to complex to > be discussed , but a quickly strategic plan easily to be implemented > with the resources that we already have. > I propose we have a good brainstorming session. This is a topic of interest to many people and having a good boisterous conversation will do us all good and refresh many of us on the changing faces of social media. No doubt, the rules we learn in social media 6 months ago become obsolete in current times, and the same will happen 6 months from now. Tackling this with a good workflow and identification of a long term strategy for strenghtening our online presence is something we definitely need to give attention to in marketing and I say let's go ahead and figure out when to do this. Preferably we talk about this after openSUSE Conference. Or even after LatinoWare when so many of our ambassadors will be AWOL until mid November. > Maybe after some mails about this topic we can find a good and smart > way to use our ambassadors program to make these social networking tools > more helpful and effectively inside openSUSE project. > > Some bullets bellow: > * create a workflow for using twiteer, identica, ... > * different workflows for announcements, events, devel, end-users, > power-users, marketing... > * as we have ambassadors enough to cover most part of the world, they > can be very useful and helpful if they are direct involved with this > issue. > > Example: > I'm a ambassador in brazil that likes to help with ambassadors program > and because this sometimes I tweet some articles, news, ... about > ambassadors program. but remember that article?, only near than nothing > is viewed and keep in others birds mind after one hour from my tweeted > time.
