pgsql announce now on twitter

От

Hi everyone:
I really wanted to let everyone know that I've created @PGSQL_Announce on
Twitter and setup a cron job to parse the feed and post it to Twitter.
It's been working for a little while now and I think it's stable enough to
announce to the world.

Forgive me if this isn't the way to announce this, or if I'm stepping on
someone's toes. I checked Twitter and didn't see anything existing for this,
so I decided to scratch my own itch. :) If anyone with PGSQL wants it shut
down or wants to take it and make it official, just ping me. Otherwise, I hope
someone can find use in this.

(PS - I'm not on these lists. CC me if you want me to see your response)

Twitter is the last crap, sending me between 30 and 150  spams  per  day
and the Abuse Departement does not react.  I was forced to block Twitter
entirely on my Mailserver since they have even spamed my postmaster  and
abuse address.

I increasingly find myself travelling between our offices or in the data center
and away from my email/feed reader. But, I always have my phone, so getting
the updates via SMS was a win for me

I'm sorry you've had such a bad experience. If I could do something for you, I
would. I'm also not at all sure what led to your situation as I literally
receive /no/ emails from Twitter. It's all SMS for me.

The problem are the peoples, whish create  an  accound  there  and  then
promoting the stuff per spam...  The Debian  Mailinglists  are  regulary
hit by this shit.  But since my e-mails (23 in total) have  found  there
way inon there Distributionlists, I have per week over 1000 Tritter spam

I've had good response reporting said spammers to the @spam account on
twitter. Sorry to hear you're not getting the traction needed.

Since we're way off-topic for these lists, I'm out. Hope things get better for
you. Thanks for the responses.

Not sure what the complainer is talking about here. pgsql-announce is
moderated so spam should be almost nil.

Anyway, I think this is a great thing that you have done as it allows
further exposure to our great project. Good Work.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake

Isn't she the one who keeps complaining about the reply-to-all
on the list and isn't subscribed because of the volume? ;}

I'm not 100% sure what "Twitter spam" *is*, for that matter.

I don't understand how mailing list can be affected by someone creating
twitter account and spamming on twitter. you have to actively
*follow* such spamming account. and how does it even has to do with new
account providing new information? care to explain?

Best regards,

depesz

That was suggested in private reply as well. I'd never even looked at it, but
have added it to my 'todo' list.

Good stuff!
