To all the cool kids using the Twitter (and to anyone else):

I'm happy to announce the first release of feed2twitter. Build on top of the excellent feed and hs-twitter packages, feed2twitter sends posts from a news feed to Twitter.

The hackage2twitter executable is build on top of the feed2twitter library. It `tweets' the releases of new Hackage-packages. In the 3 days it has been running, it has already posted 70+ releases: http://twitter.com/Hackage

Someone coding it?

Hmm, or even: http://hackage.haskell.org/?p=feed2twitter On Thu, May 21, 2009 at 3:10 PM, Tom Lokhorst wrote:

Oh, and while we're talking off topic. I don't know who's in charge of this, but I think it would be nice to have urls like: http://hackage.haskell.org/feed2twitter

It would allow me to type in a url from memory instead of having to copy-paste it. As well as not requiring a url-shortener on Twitter. This could be done with something like Apache's mod-rewrite.

what you really want is a way to query hackage programmatically.
