Feature changed by: Bryen Yunashko (byunashko) Feature #311019, revision 4 Title: openFATE and Social Media openFATE: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Nelson Marques (ketheriel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: openFATE should have automatic interfacing with openSUSE social media. * All features should be able to be twited (twitter) and 'liked' (facebook). * All added comments should be tweeted automatically. By introducing such behavior we would expand the visibility of openFATE and provide our followers/users with a updated status of what's really happening, therefore showing the clear positive synergies around the Community and fomenting user interaction with openFATE. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Maybe because: * We want higher visibility; * We want higher used feedback; * We want higher user-interaction on the future of openSUSE; * We have nothing to loose by creating such possibility; Discussion: #1: M. Edward Ed Borasky (znmeb) (2010-12-27 20:13:17) Automated tweets, Facebook updates and LinkedIn updates are IMHO a dead waste of time. Social Media "community management" just doesn't work that way. Really, if you're going to do this, you need *humans* doing it. #2: Carlos Gonçalves (cgoncalves) (2010-12-27 20:50:47) I do not agree with the 'tweeting all comments added' one. That would a) produce lots of unwanted noise (most likely to be considered as spam by the majority) b) 99% of all comments don't have <140 characters + #3: Bryen Yunashko (byunashko) (2010-12-27 23:55:46) + I'm all for tweeting/denting new feature requests. but not for comment + postings. The few accounts I've subscribed to elsewhere on Twitter with + that kind of reporting I quickly turned off after a while because they + would drown out my other feeds. I would think long and hard about how + the targets would be implemented. I don't think I'd agree with Facebook + and LinkedIn as those are not places to read feeds the way we read + Twitter feeds. In fact, Facebook feeds have become downright a turn-off + lately especially with the likes of Zynga drowning out all the other + feeds out there. And, I would probably not twwet on the general + openSUSE account because that would lead to excessive spamming as well. + So, that means create a separate account for that. And if we have to do + that, did we really achieve the purpose? + All in all, I'm for anything that helps further reach our masses, but I + think there needs to be some thought into how this will be done + properly and effectively. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311019
