Twitter & Economical Gamer

[Anthony]

Hey thanks for the old school Bargain chat, i gather twitter still works if im on the go.

Pleased to hear that. You can still use Twitter, the exact search I am currently using is:
from: EconomicalGamer OR ecogamer -from:ecogamer

Or you can just do #ecogamer, but you might not necessarily get the exact same as what is on the website.

Is there some way to stop all the damn ebay links? It's 9.15 in the morning and we've had two already today.

It's not a damn advertising channel for people to pimp their auctions....

[Anthony]

There is, but before I do that I might tell people doing it to stop.

[Charlie Miso]

Cool - sorry for the early morning whine.

hey Anthony, i think you need to change the query to include posts that include @ecogamer and @economicalgamer - or people on twitter won't be able to reply to people using the site.

How do you mean? It already includes EconomicalGamer and I deliberately removed ecogamer tweets because its just a repeat of what is on the main site.

as in, when i start my tweets with "@economicalgamer" or "@ecogamer" they don't turn up in the feed...

[Anthony]

Ill have a look then. They should be working though :S

So as of today Twitter has been blocked on my work computer. Thus no access to the bargain chat anymore.
I thought I remembered something about a non-twitter mirror of the content somewhere on the site... is that the case? If so can someone tell me how to find it? cause I'm stumped!

[Anthony]

I have some 50 feeds I use to source news for the site all powered by Google Reader. You might want to give it a go using the Twitter RSS.

Alternatively, set it up on your phone. I'll be churning to Optus soon for the free unlimited Twitter and Facebook.
