twitter

I'm going to be working on a push for help with the D7 docs in the next little bit and thought it might be helpful to register a proper Docs Twitter account https://twitter.com/drupaldocs to announce sprints, ask for help with specific tasks, point out major discussions that happen, etc.

If anyone else wants the password so they can use the account, just send me a message or ping me on IRC and (as long as I know who you are) I'm happy to have multiple people use it.

I need help! I have fought with this for hours and have search everywhere with no luck. What I am trying to do I would of thought to be very simple, WRONG! I have a form that collects the users name (Title of node) and link (CCK text field) when the user submits a form of this content type I would like to generate a post to twitter with that information. That's it!

Hi guys,

Having to configure different modules for showing social buttons on the nodes/teasers like: diggthis, tweetmeme, etc. and then trying configure the way how they are displayed discourage many "normal users" from having nice features that promotes social buzz.

Motivation:
Look at the way Mashable makes use of the social buttons at: http://www.mashable.com

The idea:
- You can enable/disable the buttons you want to show, from one single place (digg, rebuzzthis, tweetmeme, facebook share, etc.).
- You can choose which node types you will display the buttons.

Hello,
Before getting a head of ourselves I am posting this here.

I am not here to cut up the twitter module or bring it down. We use it and it works well for multi-user sites.
We have found the Twitter module way to heavy for a basic sites with one user or only one twitter account.
What we ended up doing was dropping some custom php code into a block and got a way faster alternative.

So we have been working on a Simple Twitter module.
It only stores your Twitter Username and Password in the Variables table.

All Drupal service providers in Montreal and Quebec have a vested interest in promoting the adoption and advancement of Drupal regionally. It's for this that TP1 has taken the initiative in spreading the word on advancements and events related to Drupal in Montreal by utilizing some additional channels to reach broader audiences.

We have created a Facebook Page for news and events related to Drupal Montreal. We believe Facebook Pages are an effective mechanism to reach the broader audience of Facebook users.

Currently, drupal integration with networking sites happens through contrib modules that all store their settings in different ways. For example, both Facebook Connect and Twitter store combinations of drupal user IDs with external IDs (Facebook uid, and Twitter account name) in custom database tables, and both provide a custom interface to edit social network account information in a user profile. Consequently, views integration is custom and relies on the contrib module to implement it.

I'd like to create a new module that makes it easy to syndicate content from twitter and make it look good by linking to short urls, inlining images and showing videos. twitter_filter is focussed on processing content syndicated from twitter, rather than syndicating content to twitter (see twitter.module).

News Aggregator can be used to syndicate content from twitter:

I'd like to create a module that:

Hey all -

Just another PSA here, to let everyone know there's now a Twitter account set up if you want to follow for meetup reminders, etc. at http://twitter.com/vandug. The group admins all have access to the password, and if one of us gets fancy, we'll set up some kind of hashtag retweeter system.

FYI for the current group members - I know that sometimes I forget to log into groups.drupal.org, so I created some tie-in accounts on other popular sites that I'll be updating along with this group. Hopefully this will help expand our reach to a few new members as well as help keep everyone more informed on their website of choice.

Twitter: http://twitter.com/drupalnebraska
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=237531965257
Upcoming: http://upcoming.yahoo.com/group/16259/

Also a reminder that we have our own IRC chat as well. If you don't know how to use IRC or have an IRC client, you can use the handy-dandy IRC webchat link: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=drupal-nebraska. Just type in the name you want to use and click the 'Connect' button! Hope to see you here, in IRC, or on the other sites!

Do we have a twitter hash tag for this group? i.e. #cindug or #dunkoh

Would be cool to leverage twitter's ease of use for quick questions and aggregate the conversations here for those who stop by. Thoughts? (please post your twitter name as well so can add each other)
