Feature changed by: Rajko Matovic (rajko_m) Feature #311019, revision 6 Title: openFATE and Social Media openFATE: Evaluation by engineering manager 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. + #4: Rajko Matovic (rajko_m) (2010-12-28 01:55:52) + Changed: Feature status to Marketplace.
