Hi, All.

I've started a Twitter account to record what's happening in my current DF game.

You can find it here: http://twitter.com/home?page=2

Hmm that link just re-directs to your own homepage (as in mine) rather then yours, whats your username?

[Ametsala]

a quick search found this: http://twitter.com/HYPERPOWERi

I like it..

I'm generally the first to raise up torches and arms against those who frequent social networking sites, but I have to admit that this is a VERY interesting use of the service.  Really interesting!

Apologies, Ametsala's got it right. The url is: http://twitter.com/HYPERPOWERi

To an extent, I'm the same regarding social networks (unless you're famous and I want to hear about your work/tour/whatever). Twitter just seems like a pretty perfect way to chronicle DF games. I hope more people will pick up on it.

Okay, everyone. Get a Twitter account and a little update widget from the big list of updating widgets, and get with the real-time fortress updates to put in your sig.

[Kishmond]

I think this is a good idea.

Ha! I actually came here to start a thread about how Twitter could be used to report on fortresses. I've started one here http://twitter.com/Tomemoddon

I'll actually fill it with info later on, starting in the middle of a fortress might be a mistake.

Man, why didn't anyone think of this earlier?

(Note, Airpi is not a Dwarf Fortress specific Twitter account. People who are allergic to moonrunes should not follow Airpi. May cause mild to severe depression and incontinence. If you experience dizziness when standing up, alert your doctor as this may be a sign of a dangerous drop in IQ. Talk to your doctor about any other social networking sites you may participate in, as Airpi may cause complications.)

The only thing that damn site is any good for.

[Kishmond]

My account was finally unsuspended, I am now continuing my fortress updates.

This calls for Magma. 
Lots and lots of magma.

>_>

Hmmm I wonder if you could use the DF memory library to make a program that pulled the announcements from the game straight into twitter....

<_<

"I hope this altercation will inspire the engravers of Roughdelight to carve images more heroic than Longland grass and purring maggots."

Just started reading, and I've already found something chuckle-worthy.

[Jackrabbit]

I cannot believe someone has not already thought of this. Good show!
