Okay, I’m going try the Tweeting thing here on Blog of Heroes.
- I’ve created a Twitter feed, BlogOfHeroes. Anyone’s welcome to subscribe to it.
- I’ve added Twitter Tools to this blog. That will (a) ping out any posts I make on the blog onto that Twitter channel, and (b) nightly pull in all other Tweets in that channel and post them here as a blog entry.
- When I get home tonight, I’ll turn on (limited) Twitter output from my account to that feed.
- Some day, when CoX gets the feature (don’t imagine they aren’t looking at it), I’ll be able to do that feed, too.
Result — you can follow along the Twitter feed to get info about posts here, CO activity of mine, and any news I choose to post about through that simple mechanism (e.g., a couple of Massively news items from earlier today). Alternately, the last five Twitter entries, even before they get made as a blog post, will show up in the sidebar of the blog (under “Bullpen Bulletins”).
The biggest challenge I see is going to be timing. My nightly Twitter dump schedule I use on my main blog may be shifted to wee-hours-of-the-morning, since I’m occasionally (ahem) gaming up to Midnight. I’ll have to play with the post title in that case.
It’s all an experiment. Let’s see where it goes.
