This scenario sounds good for me. Of course this is not a
substitution of the mailing list, this is complementary. It's nice to
receive a tweet with the subject of the blog post and the URL to click
on it.
Some time ago in this mailing list we were discussing that the average
age of IETF is getting old (of course, there are many exceptions). Did
you know that young people do not use email as much as us?. Saying
that, this can be a good way to bring young people to IETF.
