<shorturl> #dlang I went ahead and created an account: https://twitter.com/dlang_ng and have send you the credentials. I will look now at how to do this best in DFeed, but maybe it's a simple change for you? </div> </div> <div class="comment"> <div class="user"> <a rel="noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/wilzbach"><img src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4370550?v=4" />wilzbach</a> commented <strong> 6 years ago</strong> </div> <div class="markdown-body"> <p>Here's a <code>TwitterSink</code> - <code>tweet</code> is already working.

They tend to randomly break, limit the usage, or just start to charge you for it. For example, I setup Zapier for copying the ical calendars from the Meetup events to a global D calendar, but after a few months they reduced their "free" API usage to five Meetups.
