First things first, I read the Twitter updates on the @wikimediatech channel.
But, I'm for the idea of moving the logging to a separate account.
Now, as to the access idea, I know Twitter has an API that we might be able to
utilize ( https://dev.twitter.com/ ). I don't know how easy it would b

Make that 77 and 429. Just unsubscribed from both because I
haven't read them in forever...actually, I never really read them.

Why not "wmftech" ?

Do we *have* to rename the feeds?
We rename *everything*. I'm unsure why we can't just create a different

Hi,
I use it (since two days - after I found this account), because it's the
fastest way to the SAL updates for me.
But I would also use an account like @wikimediatechSAL - so I think it would be
fine if you would use @wikimediatech for communications - as long as you set up
a new twitter acco

I agree it would be neat to be able to use twitter/identica for actual
humans to post stuff, but I don't think these need to be mutually exclusive

Most likely we would be better off with human updates in there, but we may
need some designated tweeters to make sure it happens reliably when there
are issues to report, new features to mention, or upcoming stuff we
As someone who uses social media frequently i'd love to see us use our
resources more effectively. I've found it really helpful to use twitter for
our mobile site (http://twitter.com/#!/WikimediaMobile) and i've been
growing that community steadily through outreach, hackathons, etc.

I read it, and I'm not in the channels.
I use it to have an up-to-moment idea of status.

Hi all,
We've had @wikimediatech accounts on twitter & identica for some time now:

* https://twitter.com/#!/wikimediatech
that basically broadcast every single action that is logged to the
