VGFacts

Hey guys,

A week or so ago, me and Pete created a Twitter account that automatically tweets every time a new piece of trivia is accepted onto the site. This is a great way of keeping updated while you're just using the web, and will save you having to constantly double-check trivia. It also means that you can see more than just the last 10 things uploaded, a serious benefit. We'll look into way in which we can use this on the site itself in the next few weeks, but for now;


Let us know what you think, and we'll take any criticism or suggestions on board! :)

Take it easy,

I think it's a good idea. It allows people to see when a new piece of trivia is added without having to check the site every two minutes. However I think it could get, as someone else put it, "Spamy." DYKG updates 1-3 times a day compared to VGFacts being know to update 3-10 facts a day. Still you really can't fix it unless you do very few trivia acceptances a day or send out a newsletter to people at the end of the week, which still sounds like a lot to read and would probably be more work for you guys.

I'm for the new VGFactsUpdates twitter. Even though I don't use twitter.

Maybe for VGFacts we could have a sort of subscription button for each game we're into, so we don't get destroyed by a thousand updates from games we don't care about. Just an idea.

That's not really possible as it isn't how twitter works unfortunately.

But isn't that the nature of Twitter? Even 20 updates a day wouldn't be out of the norm on that site, so I think it's a good idea.

The newsletter is a good idea, but if you're going to do that, why not just check the Recent Updates once a day?
