Hi all, Twitter-using OSMers can now (as of Potlatch 1.2e) tweet their edits.
If you punch your Twitter ID and password into Potlatch's options screen[1], you'll have the option for your comments to be posted to your Twitter account whenever you save a changeset. The tweet includes an OSM shortlink, so others can see your location; and the #osmedit tag, because I didn't think those who look at #osm would appreciate being overwhelmed by a bunch of edits. Knock yourselves out. :) cheers Richard [1] Privacy stuff: Your ID and password are remembered on your local machine as a cookie (well, Flash's Local Storage), and not saved on osm.org. Twitter currently prevent Flash clients from connecting directly, though have said they're going to relax this. Until then, the posting needs to go via a proxy script on dev.openstreetmap.org. TomH has looked at this and is happy, I trust, that it's not doing anything evil like harvesting passwords. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
