Hi,
I use it (since two days - after I found this account), because it's the fastest way to the SAL updates for me.
But I would also use an account like @wikimediatechSAL - so I think it would be fine if you would use @wikimediatech for communications - as long as you set up a new twitter account for SAL-Updates. :)
Regards,
Sebastian Sooth

Hi all,
We've had @wikimediatech accounts on twitter & identica for some time now:
that basically broadcast every single action that is logged to the server admin log:
The account has 78 followers on identica and 430 on twitter (probably counting the spammers).
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.
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?
