Hi, I use it (since two days - after I found this account), because it's the fastest way to the SAL updates for me.
But I would also use an account like @wikimediatechSAL - so I think it would be fine if you would use @wikimediatech for communications - as long as you set up a new twitter account for SAL-Updates. :) Regards, Sebastian Sooth Projektmanager / IT Management ------------------------------------- Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.
