I have colleagues and friends who have been successful with doing this. I have contacts at Twitter to pursue if you strongly prefer one of these names such as @ApacheGeronimo.

I do not recommend sharing a single email identity because there are tools where you can manage your personal twitter account and participate as a team / group member on this account with email workflow as an on-duty user, built-in search, archiving, scheduling (very useful) etc. This can be done with a Twitter dashboard website such as Cotweet.com or Tap11.com. I use Cotweet now to manage multiple twitter accounts with teams for other work projects. One person can be the admin or multiples and that person invites and grants rights. I am happy to work with you on this as time permits and provide a demo if you are interested. kevan wrote: > > We may want some controls/guidelines in place about information that we > should be tweeting.

Good to include a communication plan to scope responsibilities / provide responses during given periods. Some etiquette references would be helpful also. Are there analytics provided by the Apache URL shortener? Do you have sample data to share? -- ryan ----- ryan boyles, ibm software -- View this message in context: http://apache-geronimo.328035.n3.nabble.com/Geronimo-twitter-account-tp2079562p2093646.html Sent from the Development mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
