Team Twitter Accounts

[Alex Dinsmoor]

So I have searched around and haven't found any thread about teams having their own twitter accounts. I found this odd because many teams are getting twitter accounts to keep in touch with other teams indirectly. To keep track of all of the teams I have set up a simple hashtag to create a list of all teams.

With your teams twitter just post

Team XXXX #frcteamlist

Then once some people post with that hashtag simpily look here to find all the teams that have a twitter (and are on CD ).

Hopefully this will catch on as it's the fastest way for a team to communicate with the ever expanding masses.

I've been blogging every day about something FIRST related, and at our district event in Traverse City last weekend I Twittered from the competition.

My Twitter is: twitter.com/rogerlsmith

You should set up a twitter account for your team then. If at least one member from your team tweets, than they can show the others in the team how to use the team's.

Awesome! It's great to see more and more teams adopt this useful communication tool.

Team 1646 has a twitter account. It is updated almost constantly while were at a competition. Parents love this new addition to the website.

We use our site for updates during competition and to give updates on what we are doing at a certain meeting. Unfortunately not many team members check the twitter, but parents find it useful.

Can you get Team 1646 to update their twitter with the #hashtag post so they can be included in the team list?

Team 1511 is at http://twitter.com/1511 but so far I haven't been able to get a student excited about posting (and have plenty to do with my own business that I wasn't able to take it over myself). Perhaps next year

Figured we'd revive this and get things going, as I am sure this list will be far longer now than 2 years ago. 1622 Team Spyder has a new twitter account, @frc1622

If teams want to again post a tweet with #frcteamlist in it, we can get that updated, as the old search results are no longer active.

And my personal twitter, @roboticsrob

Here is a thread one of our mentors started a while back about the topic:
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=76606&

As stated in the above thread, our account is

twitter.com/frc399

We update it within 5 minutes of a match ending, occasionally with little bits of info about what the pit crew and drive team are up to at the moment.

Usually in the format of:
Match XX, Teams XXX, YYY, ZZZ v AAA, BBB, CCC. Win/Loss, Score, other info.

Chopshop is at http://twitter.com/chopshop166
We usually use it for team news, although we'll probably try to get match and build info out on it.
