FiB3R Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 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?

FiB3R Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) 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 Edited February 9, 2009 by DARKFiB3R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minifig Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I think the fact that the Dali Lama just joined twitter will have more of a draw than announcing your 360 achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted February 9, 2009 Veteran Share Posted February 9, 2009 So you need to sign up for a second Twitter account to do this or can I use my exsisting one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey B. Veteran Posted February 9, 2009 Veteran Share Posted February 9, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiB3R Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obiwong Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 lol i thought this thread was about Twitter adding achievements hahaha like "YOU HAVE 10 PEOPLE FOLLOWING YOU" or "OMG YOU POSTED 10 ITEMS TODAY" :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wtf is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiB3R Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 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... AOL openid.aol.com/screenname Blogger blogname.blogspot.com Flickr www.flickr.com/photos/username LiveDoor profile.livedoor.com/username LiveJournal username.livejournal.com Orange (France Telecom) http://openid.orange.fr/ SmugMug username.smugmug.com Technorati technorati.com/people/technorati/username Vox member.vox.com Yahoo http://openid.yahoo.com WordPress.com username.wordpress.com but I chose to get a "clean" one from https://www.myopenid.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalE Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I set up an account for my achievements a while back, too :) http://twitter.com/digitale_live It also updates when I start playing a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 still don't understand the use of twitter I think it has many specific but-not-important uses, rather than a single general one (unless you believe 'microblogging' is a use). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnbttu Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I really dont think anyone but myself wants to know when i reach that 10th level of metroid..wait i mean have the perfect headshot on an armored turtle from 500m away using a pea shooter created from the mana pool of the gods.. guess the point is..whats the point?

FiB3R Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
