Hi Ian, 2009/7/13 Ian Forrester <[email protected]>
> Ok interesting debate. > > So first up to answer the core questions. > > 1. Is there an official backstage #hashtag for Twitter - Nope there isn't > because the way I see it is that backstage isn't as such a destination.

If there was a standard tag, say #bbcbackstage then you could stick a nice box using the http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=%23bbcbackstage query with ATOM results on http://welcomebackstage.com/ - this would be a handy demonstration function that could go on all sorts of BBC sites... > > > 2. Is there a Backstage user to follow? - Yes there's > http://www.twitter.com/bbcbackstage. It doesn't say much because I don't > want to spam people with random stuff which I put on my own twitter. But I'm > willing to change that a bit and say more via there. It would be handy for the @bbcbackstage user to auto post when there is new content of the website? > > > 3. Is there a list of backstagers to follow somewhere? - Nope not yet, > unless you follow the list and pick out people who have replied to this > thread. If people are really interested in this, I can setup a page on > welcomebackstage.com for people to add there twitter id. Sounds good to me. > > > Right now Facebook/others > > Personally I object to facebook based on its EULA.

And don't get me started on the > data portability of facebook! I agree with you, but it is certainly worth studying as people are bound to be making some serious money, somewhere. It's probably Facebook. > > However I've been thinking about moving this list over to google groups, > which you could argue is as bad as facebook?
