Twitter Love | |

As some may know I've grown into quite an avid user of micro blog Twitter as of late. I really had no idea how big it was and how it would hook me in. I'm meeting new people there every day and many of them have very positive things to say about Spell of Play, the game and about hUb. All in all a social open minded crowd that I'm happy to be part of.
You might also have noticed some increased activity on the forums etc ant that is mostly thanks to Twitter. Currently you find me hObbE as @SpellOfPlay and dntoll as @dntoll. Feel free to follow us! Interestingly enough Twitter also has an awesome, open API to write your own Twitter Apps in. Diving into it it took me about 15 minutes to get started and an additional 15 minutes and some 80 lines of php code to get something working. I have now added Twitter to the user profiles here at Spell of Play and the idea is that if you want to, we will Tweet your activity on this site and on hUb to your Twitter time line! An upcoming release of hUb will enable tweets of the games you start. This is pretty much in early beta format right now but I'm actually quite exited about this and I'm looking forward to trying it out more. Feel free to post any comments and/or ideas, or just tweet me |
