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.

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!
