Twitter account #93

Closed tomlokhorst closed 8 years ago

tomlokhorst commented 8 years ago

I've setup a twitter account @pomo_tv that automatically tweets about new videos. This uses twitterfeed, which I've also used for years for @Hackage.

The way this is setup, twitterfeed automatically reads http://www.pomo.tv/recent.xml every half hour and tweets the five newest posts it finds.

I don't like the formatting of the tweets as they are now, this needs some cleanup. Currently it looks like this:

Swift C Interoperability: Tags: swift c interoperability

Description:In this talk, ... http://bit.ly/1WraBQp

Ideally, a tweet should look something like:

Swift C Interoperability - by @chriseidhof In this talk, we'll look at Swift's interoperability with C... http://bit.ly/1WraBQp

This can be done by either changing the text in the current recent.xml or creating a new twitterfeed.xml.

Thoughts?

Awesome! Let's create a second feed :)

Great, I'll create a pull request for a twitterfeed.xml.

chriseidhof commented 8 years ago

I've merged the pull request. We could also link to the twitter account from the front page?

tomlokhorst commented 8 years ago

I've updated the crawler to point to the live http://www.pomo.tv/twitterfeed.xml. In theory it should work, now we'll have to wait until someone gives a new talk that gets added to the site, to see if it tweets. :-)

Awesome! Thanks Tom!
