I had hoped the blog would be used for that purpose. Obviously it is not.
And it won't be. I had vaguely imagined using it for semi-regular news updates from the core D team, but I realized early on that isn't going to pan out.
From what I've seen, the D Language Twitter account mostly tweets to announce new blog posts.
Stepping up twitter usage is one of my priorities for this year. The blog tweets are automated every time I publish a new blog post. I'm slowly increasing my twitter time investment, responding and retweeting #dlang tweets when it fits.
I plan to start tweeting out smaller news items there that aren't big enough for blog posts. I'll keep an eye on the forums for news, and cast a net outside the core community now and again.
I encourage anyone who sees something they think @D_Programming should tweet out to email me and let me know. Or tweet about it with #dlang. I'm scanning Twitter every couple of days right now.
I also have an announcement coming on the blog very soon regarding using Twitter to fix bugs.
