im not a twitter fan, but i think it can be used by the qw community.

reminders about events is what comes to mind in the first place,
and a nice twitter gadget at qw.nu frontpage, with the latest tweets.

more agile than news, i can see useful usage of thiz interzet feature.



example tweets from qw.nu:
* new episode of qwphil radio broadcast starting NOW!
* dont miss div 1 clash tonight @ 22CET LEGEARTIS vs GTG (or 1on1 or 2on2 league matches...)
* signup reminder for league
* new comic!
* (...)

edit:
So, imo, this twitter account would have
* username qw.nu for instance
* a handful of persons would have permissions to post tweets
* worldwide tweets, so contributors of all scenes would be needed.
* existing twitter users would "follow" this username
* non-existing twitter users would follow activity @ twitter or @ qw.nu via gadget

Yes, please. I always miss games. But I use Twitter (for following random people and posting my poo diary).

I'm not sure, but I think zalon already has something like this? Also, the fb page is another opportunity pro follow major scene happenings and bigger games during the season.

I'm running Czech one here as the only source of news about QW in Czech.

It'd be cool if the international one would be automatically announced via ServeMe .qw messages.

Also integration to ezQuake would be possible.
