New page

*History:
**Twitter was tested for the first time in 2006.
**But mainly used during 2007, with some tweaking, to allow multi-person delivery of SMS's while on the road (logistical coordination).
**In 2008 it was also used as a way of updating a blog, from the SMS sent while riding.
**Also in 2008, after the tour, Twitter stopped delivering SMS' to non-US mobiles... Therefore most of its initial use as a tool was lost.

*Accounts:
**Biketour has http://twitter.com/biketour
**and http://indenti.ca/biketour

*Use*
**From the road it is easy to update these accounts with an SMS to the twitter number (+44 762 4801423) but [http://support.twitter.com/articles/14589-how-to-add-your-phone-via-sms register] the number first with the BT twitter, to instantly update the BT family with the latest campsite of BT.
**However, Twitter has some issues with phone numbers from small countries, and this doesnt update identi.ca the free variant of twitter.
**Therefore, BT can also use ping.fm, which spreads an sms to +447786208201 from a [http://ping.fm/sms/intl/ verified mobile number] directly to Twitter, Identi.ca and the BT Facebook page.
**The username for twitter and identi.ca is <code>biketour</code>. For ping.fm it is <code>twitter@ecotopiabiketour.net</code>

*Future:
**There seems to have been a consensus on [[Winter Meeting 2013]], on not using twitter any longer
