In efforts to be more proactive about sharing this information we're moving to a system of tweeting short bursts of announcements.  This will be done in a "bot" style voice not unlike the WMF tech feeds.  The idea is that we'll get the information out on new hires and new contractors and consultants working with us along with new job openings etc.  Basically the streams will recap the comings and goings in a short and sweet format.

Eventually we also hope to find more ways to use this feed for recruiting and reaching out to a larger candidate pool and audience.  There will also be times where we link the streams or feeds to longer and more detailed blog postings.

So you know, all the times people asked to have better systems to
inform of new hirings such as on wiki pages but get told it would take
too long to update them, you decide to implement a even more stupid
and time consuming system in which limited information can be sent
out.
