After seeing this thread up on the active topics lists so many times over the past few weeks, I've decided to go ahead and setup a twitter account for GC:
http://twitter.com/GreekChat
I never expected to be joining twitter, simply because I'm always so busy with so many other things, but it does seem as though it might be a good, quick & easy way to post brief GC updates for anyone who is interested in receiving them. Besides, you were all quite convincing in this thread about how useful twitter can be
It's not likely that I'll be posting very often to GC's twitter account, so no worries about being flooded with GC twitter updates.
The most important use I can think of at this point is for it to be used as an alternative contact method *just in case* GreekChat's server ever crashes again in a major way. The last server crash happened 3 years ago and, if I'm remembering correctly, caused GC to be offline for a few weeks while the data was recovered. Back then twitter would have been incredibly useful for posting updates on how things were going with restoring GC, posting an alternative temporary forum and to post when GC was back online.
Other uses will likely be to quickly announce any significant changes or new major features on GreekChat, etc.
