Hi Les,

 

Yes it would be great to develop something useful and meaningful for twitters/users. We intend to use the RSS feed and have also some human tweets, but really we are only starting, and trying to find out how to best use it.

 

The start is promising though: 15 followers (outside RepositóriUM team) in the first 2 hours.

Are there other repositories using Twitter? We would like to share experiences and thoughts on using Twitter, or other 2.0 tools, to promote IR usage and visibility.

 

Hi Eloy. Yes, our repository has been twittering away as @eprintsecs since June last year. About 25 people follow it, but I'm not sure how many of them are genuine. It would be great to develop something constructive around this technology!
