Re: Regional Twitter Accounts - Keep up to date at the regionals

Hi,

I've been looking at your approach and I think that given the way Twitter currently works an account for each regional is among the more ideal solutions. I think without the ability, via a bot that allows me to subscribe and then sends me a DM for the regional I subscribe to, that multiple accounts is the way to go. I suspect multiple accounts is a little more scalable.

I have to agree about the auto retweet. I think we should leave the conversation to the method the rest of the Twitter world uses, namely hash tags. People should tag things with #FRC and maybe like #NH that way those who want to see the backtalk can use a search and those who want scores can subscribe to the actual regional account.

An additional advantage to the above approach is it makes TXTs with match scores more practical. I can subscribe to a feed, turn on TXT updates and it will be at least manageable but if all the conversation is in there as well it could get fairly out of hand on the TXT/SMS side.

My thoughts,

Justin
