OK, not really, but I got your attention. But our social networking feeds are kinda dead. More specifically, our identi.ca/Twitter @fedora output. They're silent, like a ninja only without nunchucks or throwing stars. In large part this is thanks to HootSuite's closing up their entire value prop to paid customers only, leaving free accounts like ours dangling in the wind. What's that? Putting some of our eggs in a non-free basket didn't work out? Well, it's a risk we took with eyes open, at least. It was the least ineffective of a lot of suboptimal alternatives, and at least for a while it was working well. The sad fallout is that our identi.ca/twitter feeds are quiet, and we should endeavor to fix that. I did have an idea about this, but it won't help us in the short term: to manage access to our identi.ca feed through Insight via a well-supported Drupal module. There are a couple to choose from, and the great thing is all the group access would happen automagically thanks to our existing FAS integration. But... that doesn't help us *right now*. AFAICT, there are no free services that facilitate team sharing of identi.ca/twitter duties. There are several aggregators out there, and several multiplexers, but none for collaboration. Rather than wait for one to emerge, we should get the access into the right people's hands now, and look for a better solution immediately after that (up to and including the idea above). The fastest way to fix the problem, I believe, is to simply send out the password to the identi.ca account, via GPG-encrypted email, to each of the people listed in our FAS group.
