Twittering!

[Oliver]

Hello everyone - I have just installed a nice function which enables you to twitter any post you like by clicking on the "thread tools" drop down menu.

To enable this, go to your user CP > edit options and enter your twitter details in the form boxes near the end of the page.

That's it! Just click on the "tweet this" button to tweet the post at any time.

Remember to add me to your twitter, won't you? smokeyjoe_ecf

I like this feature!

Does anyone else share my opinion that twitter , is the stupidest thing yet!! come on who needs to know that you are dripping some liquid followed by eating a ham sandwich and so on . Facebook is fine at least it has alot more functionallity then this stupid new fad . Just another way to dumb down the population I guess Tweet that twits

 

[Oliver]

Tommy, you're probably right! I quite like it though - it can be used in pretty clever ways.

I don't even understand the Twitter thing. I've heard about it, but I've never really looked at it. Just what is it???

It's like a text message - 140 characters - that gets instantly broadcast to anyone "following" your twitter.

Twitter: What are you doing?

Yeah, it's a bit silly - but very useful too. I kept members updated on my progress getting ECF back online when we were kicked off our old server!

Sj, Do you think the forum could use Oauth?

It lets twitter users use apps on websites like this one without having to give out their password.

I'm a news junkie and twitter gives me the latest news instantly. The trick is to find the right people to follow.

Hey dc2k08,

The twitter password is encrypted into the database using PHP mcrypt.

I suspect that future updates of the twitter vbulletin module will incorporate something like Oauth, but for now you're perfectly safe using it.

How do you recruit "followers"? I must admit I find most messages on Facebook a little meaningless, 'I've just made a cup of tea and am settling down to watch Eastenders', well Dippy ****** Doo!
Social Networking - a sad excuse for not going out and meeting people where you might have to speak to them in person?
I remember gud owd days when wi 'ad nowt, no telly, no phones, no compewters, but wi wur reight appy!!

Twitter transformed for me when I realised I could run clients on my PC/Mac to follow tweets. Then it became more like an MSN/AIM chat client, but more public! I also now think of it like a mini forum for me, my friends, colleagues and acquaintances.

I don't care about the whole 'celeb' twitter thing, but I do like another way to be keep in touch with folks I know and care about - especially when travelling on business. It's wierd sitting in India reading the tweets of all my mates back in the UK!
