Who's on Twitter?

[Trombones13]

Since there isn't a way for me to see all of the people who have put Twitter usernames in their profiles here (suggested add-on, perhaps? maybe later), I figure I'll just ask: who's on Twitter? Post your personal and/or forum username(s); I want to put them in a Twitter list. It also would be neat to see how you use your forum's account to advertise stuff--just links to threads, or do you discuss relevant topics externally as well?

I should use twitter more

me and every member of my xf are members of twitter.
thus far i have installed ragteks global rss and use ping.fm to push them off onto a dedicated twitter account, and also installed the twitter oauth hack.
i try to get the members to follow and retweet, but the lack of a 'tweet this' link makes it harder to kickstart participation.
one aspect of twitter than id love xf to mimic is the ability to use twitter-like 'xf lists'. unfortunately it seems to be all about facebook here

What's your username?

my username is a sceret. i know that sounds dumb, but i actually admin my boards clandestine. people do not associate my posting account with the admin account in any way; they do not know i am the admin.

i did suggest it ages ago, but i may have done a poor job wording my post.

Guilty!

I don't use it much though.

One thing I really miss from IPB is the ability to Tweet posts... I am hoping this comes to xenforo before too long.

I just push all my more interesting content on facebook then FB will auto publish the links to twitter.. Never actually visit the site..

It's nice to spit out short messages about the forum and it pulls in a fair amount of traffic, apparently. I also like how you can use hashtags (for example, #musicmonday) to tag tweets with the same content and allow others to find it, i.e. I can tweet about what's new this week with a #musicmonday tag and other users can discuss the music using the same hashtag, which I can also use to see what other users are saying and respond to them.
(If you want to see my forum Twitter accounts to see what I mean, they're @pokefarm and @voiceradio, though the latter is relatively new.)

Hashtags are a great viral marketing tactic. Good Job.
