OATP Twitter feed: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 13:10, 21 April 2020

You can follow the primary OATP Twitter feed at @oatp.

Note that the Twitter feed is abridged.

It's abridged against our will. It's abridged because the native OATP output is in RSS, and all the RSS-to-Twitter tools we've been able to find truncate the feed.
Currently, we use IFTTT, which limits the feed to 25 tweets per day. That's a higher cap than any other tool we've found, but we'd still like to remove the cap.
On most days, we tag fewer than 25 items, and the Twitter feed is complete. But on heavy days we exceed 25, and the Twitter feed is incomplete.
This is annoying. But it helps to remember that it's a side effect of success (success in covering OA comprehensively).

We welcome your help in identifying or creating an RSS-to-Twitter tool that does not abridge the Twitter feed.

Meantime consider one of the unabridged versions of the primary OATP feed.

The most popular unabridged version is the email version. (You can [ http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=OATP-Primary sign up here.]) You'll receive one neatly-formatted email per day containing all the day's feed items.
If you don't want to sign up for anything, the easiest method is to go to the HTML version. It's organized like a blog, with the most recent items at the top. Bookmark it and revisit whenever you want to catch up.
