Over the last few weeks we've been working hard to update and improve Joomla's presence on social networking sites. Here's an update:
Facebook
http://facebook.com/joomla
- We talked with Facebook and were able to move from our old URL which was too hard to remember: facebook.com/joomla.official.page. Our official Joomla account is now at http://facebook.com/joomla. Thanks to Chris Torneheim from the Swedish Joomla group for his help.
- We tidied up the page and made it much more visually appealing.
- We've a new guarantee: if you follow us on Facebook, you will not miss any important Joomla news. It will be posted there as well.
Twitter
http://twitter.com/joomla
- We have a new URL shortner: http://joom.la. This means that all Joomla.org links will be easily recognizable, for example: leads to an article on Joomla Day Italy. If you see a http://joom.la link you can be sure that it is an official link that will lead you to http://joomla.org. Thanks to Marcel Böttcher for his help.
- We had been using auto-tweet features that sometimes resulted in duplicate or mistaken posts. We've cleaned that up to ensure that all tweets are unique and useful.
- We've a new guarantee: if you follow us on Twitter, you will not miss any important Joomla news. It will be posted there as well.
Looking for Your Help: New Team Members
Over the next few week's we'll be recruiting team members to help us run Joomla's off-site social networking. We'll ask for help not only with Facebook and Twitter but with YouTube, Flickr and other Joomla accounts. Stay tuned for more details shortly.
