Nominate Yourself to Be Official Racketboy News Poster

Post by racketboy »

here's the deal

1) I don't have time to keep up on all the latest old-school gaming news
2) I have a Twitter account that I'd like to maximize
3) I would like one or more people to help stay on top of the news and post short headlines and links on my Twitter account
4) They need to be at least a bit established on the forum so I can trust them with my account.

Let me know if you're interested.

How are you going to integrate that with the front page?

I'd be up to doing something too. Can even bring a little insite, as far as classic gaming, at the upcoming E3 too. I sit in front of the computer all day M-F and don't really work. I hit all the gaming sites like 5-7 times a day.

Except, I don't Twitter or even know what twittering is.

To be honest ...

Just clarifying -

You're looking for someone to post news on the site with links, a short explainer post, headline etc., AND then also use the Twitter account to point back to the news that was posted?

Well, all I was really looking for is to Twitter the news.
I'll eventually probably have something that parses the Twitter feed and displays it on the front page.

All you would need to do is post a short message like this:

I'm also on Twitter daily. During the week, it's some days more than others as I'm at work. I could handle most weekends but I don't think I could get away with skimming around gaming news sites to grab the links. But like I said if there's need for a weekend "shift" I could do that.
