What's the deal with DMs. If I follow you I can DM you? Or the other way around? When signing up we could follow the user from rubymanor (or a new vestibule account?) and when they get a suggestion we could DM them with "Good news! @ has left a suggestion for your proposal '' " Or just @mention them. |
I think the deal is "if X follows Y, then Y can DM X". So we'd actually need people to follow @rubymanor, rather than the other way around. I think @mentioning would get annoying, because it's likely to appear in a bunch of people's timelines... On 6 Sep 2011, at 12:03, h-lame wrote:

I'm happy to fix this issue if we can agree on how we want it to work. I suggest we choose between:
In cases 1 & 2 we'd need a mechanism for opting in and out of notifications, since the alternative is to have people blocking us on Twitter. |
I agree that Tom's two principle options make sense. If we were to pursue the DM route, we could update our cron task to check whether or not a particular user follows @rubymanor and set a flag, perhaps? I think either option is viable though. |
I think 2 is the best option. If there is an edgecasey person who wants to be notified of suggestions but not follow the rubymanor account then that's what the RSS is for. Sucks to be them. If we DM folk rather than @mention them then we can say who left the suggestion, which is a useful bit of info. |
There's a large part of me that thinks, actually, we've got a reasonable momentum going now. Perhaps we don't need this? The champs and scamps page seems to have done something. Or perhaps it's everyone having tickets now. Let's watch it and see. |
I agree that this is a non-issue now that we have sufficient participation. |
In hindsight we should perhaps have asked for an (optional) email address at first login (cf Klout), just for sending notifications. Email still feels like the most convenient and unsurprising way to do this sort of thing; I'm not convinced I want to be automatically notified of anything via Twitter. |
There's a comment by a proposer from a Ruby Manor 4 talk along the lines of:
I think there's a couple of things we could do:
Bit late now for RM4, but maybe worth it for any future vestibule uses. |
Via twitter?
