suggestion: push new feed items to twitter (2 possible ideas)

[gitbenb]

what about being able to select items already pushed on the IRC channel and push them to twitter ?

• the idea is using collective curation inside a IRC channel, so that each item could be assigned an ID and then this ID could be used to tell the bot : !twitter IDnumber and the bot would take the tittle of the rss feed item and push it to twitter respecting twitter spec: 140 chars and with optional inclusion of a #hashtag
• another simpler implementation would be to simply push every items coming from the RSS feed ticker to Twitter, with a timer implementation to avoid flooding twitter with too many post at once. timer could be defined in the config parameters and the bot would queue items and tweet them until the queue is empty.

that would make a nice addition for this plugin !

One way to support this would be to have this plugin listen for an event that would contain the feed item data, and then syndicate that data. At that point, the FeedTicker plugin could support firing that event with data from feed items it receives.

the point about the first idea above, was to think about a use case where users don't want to tweet everything coming from the feeds, hence assigning an ID would allow people with correct level to the bot to choose what to push to twitter.. hence allowing collective curation inside a IRC channel. not sure if that can fit into, but anyway it's shared!
