We're on Twitter

[TonyNo]

Let's test this out...

C5G on Twitter

If you have an account, follow us, and turn on mobile phone updates! If you don't, create one!

Note that this may go away at any time as it was not approved yet by the others!

If I were on Twitter, or cared to join Twitter, I would, but I have no interest in getting a Twitter.... I just don't see the point... I have a facebook...

[TonyNo]

Twitter is better for pushing out info.

If someone has a better solution, let's hear it!

[Dave_O]

I guess... I just prefer Facebook I guess... Its not like I am ever close enough to make it to last minute things like that anyhow! So I guess you don't really have to count my opinion here!!!

[TonyNo]

Okay. They are two different animals in my head, though.

[svtjackal]

Cool Tony,

I am following C5G now

[TonyNo]

Okay, I see a problem. I want people to be able to respond and have those get broadcast. I'll do some more digging.

[TonyNo]

I think I got it! There is a service called GroupTweet that looks to do what I want. All set up and ready for testing!

The group is set to Private, so, "followers" need to be approved. This will keep the "noise" down and only allow us to see our messages.

[TonyNo]

Also, PM me your Twitter user name so I can approve you!

Also, PM me your Twitter user name so I can approve you!

same as here, svtjackal

[TonyNo]

I figured that out.

FYI, signing up for this allows us to text everyone at once and allows replies to go out to the group or just to individuals (you can choose).

This seems to be a great way to keep people in the loop on last-minute meets and cruises, as was requested previously regarding the impromptu meet that we had at BW3, without requiring people to monitor the forums.

[TonyNo]

Hmm. It's been over a week and there are only four people signed up, including me.

Looks like monitoring the forums is required. You can subscribe to the Suggested Meets forum and get emails, though.

[TonyNo]

Hmm. No "Instant Notification" available via a subscription, only Daily.

[TonyNo]

Just a bump as we have some more people. This is a great solution for keeping people informed on impromptu meets and cruises.
