I have developed a retweeter for sla2008 based on the Twitter API and John Eckman's code. Thanks John!
I have run it a few times with a small group and and it works perfectly. My question now is...do we use it at SLA2008 or not?
The proposal is to turn the sla2008 account into a retweeter. When a follower of sla2008 posts a tweet with the hashtag (#sla2008) in their tweet (probably best at the end), their tweet will be retweeted to all followers of sla2008 with their username at the start.
It would look something like this.
This image is based on the test account I created.
Retweeting is helpful for:
- sending immediate (5 minute delay) broadcast messages to sla2008 followers
- seeing what sla2008 followers are tweeting about without having to go to the sla2008 page
- creating an archive of tweets on the sla2008 page
It's an opt-in service as well. Only your tweets with the hashtag (#sla2008) will be re-tweeted.
Any thoughts out there on this?
