I've created a Twitter account which aggregates content in the MUD community (here, TMC, TMS, MudGamers and the general MUD section of gammon.com.au).

The goal of this is not to obtain followers or the sort. Twitter is often spidered by various places including Google. My goal is to get MUDs more known to the general public. Not just by people looking on Twitter for various things (and finding the Twitter account with a related post), but outside Twitter too. Here's an example: http://i.imgur.com/lk0oL.png

If you have any suggestions for more MUD sites for it to aggregate, let me know. Currently it doesn't pull in RSS from TMC forums (the RSS updates per post, which causes duplicates. Iccy said he'll try to work out a new feed for me) and MudBytes (AFAIK, there is no topic feed; only post feed).

If you know of any Twitter accounts that are specifically for anything related to MUDs, let me know and I'll have MUD_News follow it.

Feel free to add http://twitter.com/mud_client which is for TinTin++, and I'll probably end up using it for cooky mud client protocol announcements as well.

Yes, I like the idea and I immediately added it to my RSS reader. But I don't think it's a good idea to twit about every new message on the forum. That might fit to an IRC channel bot.

It won't be tweeting about every post. Only every new topic.

Umm, when I click that link it goes into an infinite redirect loop between "/#" and "/MUD_News#".

(EDIT: That is, the twitter.com link in the OP).

Eh, try http://twitter.com/#!/MUD_News

Twitter is crap with their links, they enforce JS to be used everywhere. :/

Same problem. The JS has nothing to do with it :wink: and even the links you posted to the MUSHclient forums aren't working now.

EDIT: It's happening on both Chrome and Firefox. Other twitter accounts seem unaffected.

I'm getting the same problem now. It worked for me earlier today.

Ah, same here when I'm logged out. I saw some new template today, maybe Twitter is switching to a new design.

Twitter seems to have fixed it.

MudBytes topics are now aggregated thanks to kia and Davion.

All that's left is TMC topics. And MudLabs.

Any chance you could validate that feed? :)
http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?u...

Some posts aren't being fed to the Twitter account because it's not valid.

Neat thanks. Is that category going to be only reviews, or more? I need to tag it with something.

It's likely to be only reviews at this point.
