AGA on Twitter: Add headlines

Post by Xaos »

I'm hoping someone from the AGA follows the forum. On Twitter, they only add a link, no headline, and you have no idea what you will click on, so like, hey, can you please add headlines to the tweets? Thanks.

Seems like sending them a tweet would be the best way to get to them :)

There is also webmaster@usgo.org, but I don't know if he handles the twitter feed as well or not.

I, and others, have sent tweets but they've never responded. Seems it automatically tweets when they post.

This annoys me as well. I am considering unsubscribing from their twitter feed, but it would be nice if they could add headlines!

Can someone explain what this is about. I know nothing about twitting. I thought it was just a short messaging capability. How can it have a headline? And what does the AGA has to say in such a short message?
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

Well, you have 140 characters, and you can shorten links, so you can squeeze something in at least, like: "New lecture this Sat. http://www.hereisyourlink.com" instead of just a link with no idea what it is about.
