In short twitter lets you subscribe to people by\n\"following them\" or topics via \"#hashTags\", say #git. You can watch\n#git to know what random people are telling about it but as somebody\nmentioned above, if this guy tweets everything from the mailing list\nwith #git, its gonna be a big mess. Else its for people who watch\ntwitter more often than their email inbox.\n\n-- \nJaseem Abid\nhttp://jaseemabid.github.com\n"},{"id":"191944","messageId":"vpqehqcq7di.fsf@bauges.imag.fr","threadId":"30589","inReplyTo":"4FBB5928.7020207@rktmb.org","subject":"Re: Git is on TWITTER !!!!!!!!!!!!","fromName":"Matthieu Moy","fromEmail":"matthieu.moy@grenoble-inp.fr","sentAt":"2012-05-22T20:38:01Z","receivedAt":"2012-05-22T20:38:01Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"matthieu.moy@grenoble-inp.fr","avatar":"https://gravatar.com/avatar/72c8a2705971a25dfaff23cece15130d405685845d911aedd5667ace277f3fc5?d=mp&s=160"},"body":"Mihamina Rakotomandimby writes:\n\n> Would more agree with an agregation of tutorial, annouce,\n> tip&trick,... but timelining discussions looks messy to me.\n\nSame here.\n\nReplicating announces, or \"what's cooking in git\" messages in tweeter\nmay be nice for people who prefer twitter to RSS readers.
