Idea for an application.

Good evening, elitepvpers.

So today I've came with an useful idea for me and for others (maybe?), so let me share it with you.

The idea is for an app to comunicate with twitter plugin, and post every tweet as a global message in the server. For instance you can customize it a bit, for example do not post tweets with mentions (@ tag) etc.

This might be useful for projects, which use twitter for their server to post general news.

What do you think about it? Post please, no hates preferable. Gracias :)

I think this will be good for a server with a large community, as 90% of them I doubt even know what Twitter is, and it would be pretty annoying if you constantly tweeted.

Well I use twitter mainly as a contact / info method, because it's the best place where I can announce main news shortly with a single click / tap. Much easier than writing an article in the website either informing every single person at skype. It just helps :)

@LastThief - Thumbs up! Looking forward for this :)

I think this is even a cool idea
this idea can be also be expanded to be compatible with forums
for example
setting your "plugin" to listen for new threads on the "News" section

I think it is pretty possible, specially since they are a lot of stuff regarding Twitter like this
You will have to create a tool to post Notices on server but that's already been done
Edit: giving some info I just googled, it is a start

Yeah, right. Like facebook is pretty cool for announcing that.
You see an update status and above that you see gigantic brazilian ass with a text "Like&Share if you're not a gay". Or a photo with Justin Bieber and notice "Like&Share and if you want him to die".

Srsly, facebook?

I rarely open my facebook account to chat. Also I don't own a page. Also I don't like Justin Bieber.

Yes. Most of the servers are using FB, you can tell them to use Twitter instead.

Or a twitter app which will install sro. dafuq is this idea bro?:D
OT: Nice one but, twitter is just missing many shits and they're important in a society site. And, they do not look forward it.

Who cares whether you like JB or not? If your friend likes it, you'll definetely see it on your wall. That's the problem. Facebook shows everything related to your friends and pages you like. Twitter doesn't.

I need this idea for my server because I have my own server's twitter, which has actually pretty much followers and they're actually reading it, and contacting with me through it. Also it would be useful to only write globals with a certain hashtag (e.g #LSRO).
BTW I use twitter 24/7 on all of my devices, it's much more convenient rather than other social networks.

I can make clientless which will log notices in game, then add it to database and PHP script will post it on Facebook or Twitter.

My idea is to make it the opposite.
For example all tweets with hashtag #LSRO will be posted via global message in account, which will be logged in clientlessly.
