detail....
I've got a website for a local sports association. Presently someone
thought it would be a good idea if, by using twitter everybody could
be kept appraised of different teams standings/plays/activities in
real time aka twittering. The problem arises that no one person
wanted to be the 'voice' of the sports organization and the thought of
many people logging in as the association is a security nightmare.
Basically what was needed was for a select group of people would
tweet, which would be picked up by the associations twitter id and
broadcast out to the many parents. Diagram below (sorry for its
crudeness):
twitter twitter twitter
\
| /
Association
/ / / |
\ \ \
parent parent parent parent parent parent
parent
The only way I can think of doing this is by setting up a web page on
the association's site that only the approved list of twitters are
allowed to access and then, using the API, have the web site post the
twitter.
But before I do any of this:
1) Has this been done before/ am I re-inventing the wheel?
2) Can the API handle this?
3) Would it get Twitter's blessing (I know they are cracking down).
Thanks,
Kevin
