Do you guys think it makes any sense to use Meta to help handle the workflow for both the blog and social media messages? See the item for tomorrow where I've added proposed social media message for the two blog posts I'm publishing tomorrow: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Blog/Calendar#January_2013

I don't know how we can make Meta work for this kind of thing, but it seems to make sense to me to try to consolidate the tool we use for seeking and giving feedback on these.

I'm too lazy to dig up the previous conversation about this in my e-mail archives, but I think that's what we wanted to do at some point. I think it's when Stacey started publishing OTD / DYK stuff and we felt it could be scheduled far in advance to avoid being delayed by belated validation of the proposed postings on the socialmedia@ alias.

It's also why the blog calendar has the qualifier "Blog" for each blog post: because at some point we started to add social media stuff there too, so "Blog" was used to distinguish the blog posts from social media postings.

(Oh, and that means I'm totally fine with it, btw :)
