You could do this without core changes if you used one of the existing
cart/cut fields.
I'm not sure about everyone else but we don't use every field that Riv
offers. For example a quick skim down the list and we have the
following fields unused:
CARTS:
LABEL (64 chars)
CLIENT (64)
AGENCY (64)
USER_DEFINED(255)
NOTES (Text aka a lot of writing)
You could write an RLM to post to the twitter API and send any of the
fields you're not using. To keep people sane it might be better to use
NOTES in a structured way.
E.g. Notes could contain any notes but importantly the first or last
line would be:
@michaeljackson
You could then parse this out in the now and next for use to post to
twitter.
From memory, I'm not sure if notes are passed via Now/Next so it might
not be this trivial without resorting to User Defined or something else.

Thank you Cowboy I really appreciate your advice, however I have been
in professional broadcasting for almost 30 years now working with
several professional automation systems. My suggest is not to change
Rivendell into an internet thingy, but even Terrestrial radio
broadcasting companies are moving more and more towards internet
broadcasting everyday, my idea is not about improving internet radio
stations, but rather all broadcaster using Rivendell on all levels
presence over the internet as well. I look forward to hearing some
more suggestions.
Blessings

I don't disagree.
It's good marketing, but....
Rivendell is a professional program playout automation system, not an
internet thingy, and Rivendell already does the now/next thing.
I'd suggest treating this as a separate thing, not part of Rivendell
itself.
Capture the now/next data, reformat, and tweet that in an application
( or script ) designed just for that purpose.

In the beginning was the word.
But by the time the second word was added to it,
there was trouble.
For with it came syntax ...
