Angela,
This was exactly our hope when creating the feed or "stream" system with
Identi.ca and Twitter.
The feeds require minimal time commitment yet get the information out in an easily
digestible format that can be used in ways like you mentioned. In cases where more
information is necessary we still plan to use and link to our blog, Job Openings page,
email welcome announcements to the various lists, etc. In addition the Staff page is
constantly updated when new employees are added.
Thanks for the constructive and encouraging feedback. :)

If there's an RSS-embedding widget that's

might be a good thing to put on the relevant WMF wiki page.
It may be better to have a bot copy the content into the wiki page
instead of only displaying the RSS. That way the history remains on
the wiki and you're not relying on a third party to provide a copy of
the content. I've found that embedding Twitter feeds in a wiki too
often results in timeouts.
