Achievements on Twitter


Recommended Posts

I've setup a Twitter account just for my achievements http://twitter.com/SPANKiE101 using http://www.xboxtweet.com

I'd like to see peoples achievements as they happen via Twitter. I'm calling these "Atweevments". So sign up to twitter (or create a second account if you've already joined the revolution) and use your gamertag as your username, then give those details to http://www.xboxtweet.com if you fancy it :)

Maybe this will entice a few people that saw no use for twitter in the past?

Well as for twitter itself, this is the kind of instant news it can and does bring from around the world Link

And there's tons of interesting people/services/sites that tweet. A few of the neowin crew tweet, and neowin as a site tweets.

Honestly, I could never see the point of it before, in fact it took me 2 go's at it before I could see it's charms, but it's cool to share links and stuff. I dunno, just give it a shot (or 2)

EDIT: I've also got my xbox twitter account linked to my facebook account, so it updates my status when when I get an achievement, and my gf even gets a text message lol.

****, I've turned into such a geek, but I love it :p

I think the fact that the Dali Lama just joined twitter will have more of a draw than announcing your 360 achievements.

LOL, yeah. I might follow him, see what he has to say for himself :p

so far the only use for twitter that i can think of is i managed to write a java tweet reader. and post them on my Intranet of my company so i do not have to manually update the information on the page. Just tweet it.

So you need to sign up for a second Twitter account to do this or can I use my exsisting one?

You can use your existing account if you want, but I wanted to follow peoples gamertags and just their achievements with @SPANKiE101 and not have it cluttered with other tweets.

It's just a set it and forget it account, all done automagically :)

Wtf is that?

Yeah forgot about that. A lot of places I have signed up to lately use OpenID, but quite a few have let me use a standard sign up too.

You can get an OpenID from a few places including using accounts you might already have, like...

What's the point of you displaying your gamercard in your sig? What is the point of of gamer points at all?

To show off, to inform, to strive, to compete, to encourage, to have a bit of fun.

Why are so many gamers such negative *****? You should give IRC a try, you'd fit right in.

P.S. Metroid on the 360? I agree, what's the ****ing point.
