I'm wondering if there are actually people reading all the stuff that's pushed through these channels.
My gut feeling is that the few people reading these feeds are also those that would know to check the SLA if they encountered an issue, or know how to use the RSS feed of the SLA page if they really wanted the information in real time.
Yeah, I use it, but really just because it's the laziest way to read the SAL. To be quite honest, my identica noise would be a lot lower without @wikimediatech .
Meanwhile, we don't really have social media channels dedicated to Wikimedia tech stuff, i.e. channels where we can actually post stuff, links, blog posts, outage info, etc and engage with a larger community of people interested in our tech operations. I feel that the accounts would be much more useful if we reduced the amount of semi-random information we post there.
So, I'm basically proposing to repurpose the @wikimediatech accounts for this.
Thoughts? Good idea? Bad idea? You don't care?
+1, let's do it.
