Hi Eloy
I set up a twitter feed for the SWORD project a few weeks ago. It's at http://twitter.com/swordapp
and currently has 49 followers. It's already been useful in helping
to get the SWORD message out there I think. Clearly we're not a
repository, but we are a repository technology. I'm a keen twitterer
myself (http://twitter.com/adrianstevenson) and think it's a great
means for helping to promote the repository cause. I know there are
many who dislike the use of twitter for promotional purposes, but they
don't have to follow.
Adrian
