The other week Richard Waid and I traded notes on Twitter notification
and groups.

Using this:
http://twitterfeed.com/

I created this manually:
http://twitter.com/edemmpls

I haven't quite figured out if I really set it to capture all new
topics or not. Haven't promoted it yet.

What might be useful of course is a way to automate this so you could
offer Twitter along side the web feed or something or a simple place
to put in the Twitter account via the web admin.

Hi Steve,

That's cool. I can imagine some people preferring to follow forum
postings this way.

I think what you are suggesting is that we replicate twitterfeed's
functionality. Why that is needed, since twitterfeed seems to work
pretty well?

Once we have greater flexibility about content in the group context (the
group home, charter, about etc pages), it will be easy to post a link to
the Twitter feed.

That is very cool. I must admit I didn't know about twitterfeed when I
made the suggestion Steve. I guess the question would be whether we
could do any better than that.

If we did, perhaps it could be implemented along with the proposed new
chat and presence server that we discussed the other day, and that I'll
post on soon here. Both deal with polling and short messages.
