Hi all,
Who was running the Europython twitter account? It seems woefully out of
date.
http://twitter.com/europython
If someone shares with me the password, I will write some new posts
there.
Yes, I am. It should be fed by the blog RSS feed automatically but I wil
send you the password later today.
Is the account working? It claims to be following me, and I've tagged
a couple of things #europython, but my (rare) tweets do not appear on
it.
Unless it is setup as an auto-retweet bot (which it shouldn't be IMO) then
it wouldn't repeat your messages. It should be tweeting new posts to the
EuroPython blog.
Well I'll leave all this stuff to you modern young social networking
whipper-snappers, but to my simple mind:
* Christian says it's taking new blog posts and tweeting them, the
reverse of what you say,
Sorry - my meaning was unclear - parentheses or better punctuation would
have helped. I meant that new posts to the EP blog would be tweeted.
* If I follow you, I see your tweets, so why is this not the same with ep,
If you were logged in as the ep twitter you would see your posts. If I
follow you I don't see posts from everyone you follow.
* With how it is no, it seems pointless!
Unless it is used to send messages it is pointless!
There was a PyCon twitter account which was setup to retweet messages
sent directly to it which was very useful during PyCon.
If you sent a message like:
@pycon Birds of a feather starting in Runcorn room in five minutes.
It would tweet the following message (seen by anyone following it):
Birds of a feather starting in Runcorn room in five minutes. (From
@someone)
This was driven by a Python script which may be available somewhere.
Should I look into it?
Thanks
Michael
John
