WoW Insider Twitter returns with updates from the whole team

Back during Blizzcon last year (it seems so long ago now, doesn't it?) we started up a WoW Insider Twitter account so you folks could get updates from right there on site as the event went down. After Blizzcon ended, though, we left the account to lay dormant for a while, and we didn't post any tweets in a few months. We're back, though -- if you're on Twitter, make sure to head over there and follow our feed.Twitter, if you're unaware, is a fun little messaging service, about halfway between email and instant messenger. From now on, our Twitter account (@WoWInsider, obviously) will feature not only periodic updates on posts we think worth tweeting about, but also little insights on what our writers are up to around the realms, whether it's grinding rep in Blade's Edge, raiding Black Temple with our guilds, or running an ICftB event.
It's just another fun way to see what we're up to (especially for smaller, more personal things that don't really warrant a whole post). You can follow our feed on the Twitter link above, and soon, we should have Twitter updates posted here on our homepage as well. WoW Insider's Twitter is back -- if you're on Twitter, make sure to follow and keep an eye on what we're doing.

Can't you also put a little Twitter box on the front page?

Yup we're working on exactly that.

So... how does this Twitter thing send me updates through my phone? Like, it'll text me whenever you guys update?

If it were an twitter feed of the news items, I'd use it.
The extra bits & pieces would probably be better as a separate feed.

Cool! Following you now. If any other WoW addicts... err, players, want to swap follows you can add me at http://twitter.com/Bibble

I must be one of those old farts who despises Twitter, for it seems to turn everybody using it into a blonde cheerleader on crack.
"OMG I'm doing (whatever) with (whoever) and it's SO COOL". Yep, it applies to WoW all too well, I'll go dig myself under a rock now.

Personally I agree with you. Twitter is toward the extreme end of the internet's capacity for sub-trivial pointless banal information. What's the next step, a messenger to inform me about someones bowel movements, when, how many and where?

Since you guys are on Facebook and Twitter, you might want to try out an IM/Social program that helps you keep up to date with all that stuff: http://www.digsby.com . It's windows only, and in beta, but people are saying lots of good things =)

Also a long time user of twitter, though I never knew WoW Insider had it's own twitter feed. :)

Seriously, you gotta fix this login system on site. This "Remember Me" Checkbox always forgets me! I can't change my password/profile... well, I just can't update my profile at all, it simply doesn't work for me! =/
Firefox 2 @ Win XP.
HALP11!!1!
