    Has this gone live? Is there going to be an announcement?

    Wasn't it Muad that was the biggest detractor from Twitter integration?

    He and Chup. However, this isn't integration, just an ability to display Tweets without any real connection to Wordforge membership.

    Ok, I guess I get to make the announcement.

    I honestly think it was an excuse for Muad. He had no love for Anc and the mere suggestion of the Twatter merger just pushed him over the edge.

    Can't say I'm real thrilled about it, but then it's not my board. :shrug:

    Thrilled about what? Twitter post integration is not the same as full on social media account integration. You understand that, yes?

    Don't know what his issue is, but one argument might be that this is a new way to avoid creating content. Maybe @Captain X can elaborate?

    I'm confused too. When I set up new threads to autotweet, Faceman figured it out pretty quickly and it was shut down.

    I agree on the blatant spammery, disagree on the downshutting. :bailey:

    Since this is just about making it easier to post tweets here, I'm in favor.

    It's sort of hard to imagine how it would, since it's basically the same as what happens when you post a YouTube link ...

    It occurs to me in posting that parody account link above that perhaps there should be a rule against embedding tweets from the feeds of members who have not revealed their identities.

    I think this goes without saying and I agree with having a policy like that.

    Absolutely, but it doesn't require a new policy. It's already covered by existing personal info rules.

    It is, but Twitter accounts are nonetheless public profile accounts, so I thought it best to clear up any argument to the contrary.
