If TBCS had a Twitter account would you follow it?

Thinking of creating a Twitter feed for the TBCS front page. If we had one would you follow it?

I would follow, if I twittered, now a facebook page on the other hand

My problem is that the front page of TBCS is a bit too busy for me, and the majority of us are here for the forum anyway. My TBCS bookmark is straight to the forum, and I rarely read any of the articles on the front page.

If TBCS had a Twitter account and it updated with the front page articles I'd like to think I'd read them more often.

Totally agree.
I couldn't say it better.

I like to visit the web and the newsfeed (Web and forums).

Facebook and Twitter are powerful marketing tools. I would say 1/4 of my photography clients found out about me on facebook. The proof is in the news services across the USA. For years they never advertised on anything except their own station. Now almost every media outlet has a facebook and twitter account. When those who controlled the advertising market for years begin to use social media to market themselves one should pay attention.

My point about this poll is that a lot of tbcs users (myself included) have the main forums page bookmarked and rarely go to the front page. There are lots of good articles, reviews, and interviews posted there that most never see. This is why I proposed this idea. Its an easy way to inform people of fresh content on the front page. Content that some of us bust our buts to produce.

i use RSS feeds, much easier, so my vote is no

I don't use any social networks and know little about them so can't really give an opinion but I think it's very sad that people are not looking at the front page, I bet you would if your build was featured on it

Maybe access to the forum should be through the front page, of course I don't mean this in a pushy dictatorial "You must look at the front page" kind of way but it doesn't take long to scan it for new items and features that people have taken time and effort to bring us and at least we know what ever is on the front page will be relevant to the site, if everyone had the front page as their homepage like me you couldn't miss it..creep, creep
