pgsql announce now on twitter

Hi everyone:
I really wanted to let everyone know that I've created @PGSQL_Announce on
Twitter and setup a cron job to parse the feed and post it to Twitter.
It's been working for a little while now and I think it's stable enough to
announce to the world.

Forgive me if this isn't the way to announce this, or if I'm stepping on
someone's toes. I checked Twitter and didn't see anything existing for this,
so I decided to scratch my own itch. :) If anyone with PGSQL wants it shut
down or wants to take it and make it official, just ping me. Otherwise, I hope
someone can find use in this.

(PS - I'm not on these lists. CC me if you want me to see your response)

Not sure what the complainer is talking about here. pgsql-announce is
moderated so spam should be almost nil.

Anyway, I think this is a great thing that you have done as it allows
further exposure to our great project. Good Work.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake

I'm not 100% sure what "Twitter spam" *is*, for that matter.

Isn't she the one who keeps complaining about the reply-to-all
on the list and isn't subscribed because of the volume? ;}

Nice, how about doing the same for http://identi.ca? Support the open

That was suggested in private reply as well. I'd never even looked at it, but
have added it to my 'todo' list.

I increasingly find myself travelling between our offices or in the data center
and away from my email/feed reader. But, I always have my phone, so getting
the updates via SMS was a win for me

I'm sorry you've had such a bad experience. If I could do something for you, I
would. I'm also not at all sure what led to your situation as I literally
receive /no/ emails from Twitter. It's all SMS for me.

Good stuff!

BTW, Identica has group support, and I created a postgres group a while
ago. You can join it here:

For What?  --  Increasing Twitter-Spam?

Twitter is the last crap, sending me between 30 and 150  spams  per  day
and the Abuse Departement does not react.  I was forced to block Twitter
entirely on my Mailserver since they have even spamed my postmaster  and
abuse address.

Done
