Given that any useful question to the development community (or the user
community, for that matter) is likely to require supporting materials like logs
that will in no possible way fit in 140 characters, can I ask what's the
practical point of a Bacula Twitter account other than to seem trendy? It's
useless for diagnostics, and almost useless for announcements. It seems kind of
silly to me to try to turn what we do in these mailing lists into sound bites
for terminal ADD sufferers.
Also, if this is a Bacula Systems thing, then they should be funding, staffing
and/or supporting it. As you comment, this mailing list isn't a forum for
promoting commercial ventures, and I would argue that if @bacula is to
represent the project, not the commercial company, then anything commercial
should be clearly separated and identifiable as such.

Greetings Folks,
My name is Zak Greant. I've been helping the Bacula Systems folks out
for the last month or so, mostly with a focus on community support and
Free Software/Open Source strategy and relations.
I've set up Identi.ca and Twitter accounts for Bacula and have been
intermittently posting to the Twitter account.
Bacula Systems shouldn't control this account - it is a resource that
should be community-managed.
I've made a set of recommendations on the use of the accounts and
would like feedback.
