#2131 — RISC OS and Twitter

I hope everyone is looking forward to the RISC OS London Show
tomorrow.

I've tidied up the RISCOScode home webpage ahead of the show and am
doing my best to get the word out about the show.

The Raspberry Pi is a fantastic selling point for the London event.
I sent a twitter message about it to @Raspberry_Pi.
This was helped enormously by the excellent pre-show article
on RISCOSblog a link to which I included in the message.

http://www.RISCOSblog.com/

This then appears on the Raspberry Pi website home page.
More than that, Raspberry Pi then retweeted the message to their
3,478 Raspberry Pi twitter followers.

Another trick is to use a twitter hashtag which, for the London
Show is #ROLS.
If everyone tweeting about the show uses this hashtag then
all the show information tweets are easy to find by searching
on #ROLS.

If you don't want to join Twitter then you can still follow all of the
breaking news at

http://riscosnews.wordpress.com/

All of the @RISCOScode tweets appear there along with others.
The RISCOScode tweets also, of course, relate to the linked
news headlines on the main RISCOScode website.

Personally I think twitter is great for RISC OS.
Once you've joined twitter you can follow RISCOScode
via the button on the RISCOScode home page.

RISCOScode now has 60 followers.

http://www.RISCOScoder.com

Tweets tend to be hard to find after a few days but all of the
RISCOScode linked headlines remain available.

You can find them at

http://www.riscoscode.com/Pages/Item0003.html

There's well over 100 archived RISC OS news items from the
last three months there.

Regards,
Martin Hansen

Any RISC OS user who hasn't taken the plunge with a smartphone or doesn't
have access to windoze or mac may think the needs of twitter exceeds the
capabilities of their browser, but fret not.

http://m.twitter.com seems to work in NetSurf

and there's always

http://m.facebook.com too.

Worked surprisingly well in NetSurf, thanks! Was using Linux though so
switched to more feature rich browser later. Wouldn't it be nice if we
had a Twitter client for RISC OS? It's probably not that hard, given 
there's one for the C64!
OTOH when I was looking for something remotely useful to do on "the net" 
with my A4000 I discovered tweetymail.com (the name is a bit of a give away).
Just set up your account and use your email client to tweet/retweet, fetch 
latest, follow/unfollow and more. Basic use is free or upgrade to "full" 
account. Never felt the need fo that myself but who knows?

From where do I get it (the one for the C64)?

It would. Please dear Lord could it also be configured so the timeline is
the other way up? I am sure I could scan through tweets much faster if it
were so.
