Twitter Integration or Something Similar?
I was wondering if you guys plan on adding some kind of integration support with Twitter in the future? I thought it would be great to be able to notify my followers when a piece of documentation has been updated.
An even better idea could be something similar to how github does their post-receive hooks. This way I could just build my own notification service that you guys plug into.
Any thoughts?

We do have webhooks, but not for FAQs yet. Would you like to try them out? We have hooks internally for user creation, new discussions, and new comments. We've been testing an internal one that notifies our iphones of new discussions, and it's been working very well.
We should have a UI out for webhooks in early January. Let me know if you'd like to try it out.
Regarding Twitter: we are all heavy Twitter users (for personal and company support use). That's all I'm going to say :)
(Okay, you can easily search our forums for mentions of our Twitter integration. It was moved down the priority stack in place of the features we've been working on for the last few months).

Outstanding!
Yes, I would definitely want to play around with with your web hook implementation!

I just pushed an experimental webhook UI at /settings/webhooks. You won't see a link yet until we have docs done (later this week). If you want to try it out, use Postbin to track the call.

Outstanding! Thanks! :D

No prob. Let me know if you have any issues with the UI. The webhooks themselves should work fine -- I've been using one for a couple weeks now. I assumed the UI would be easy, but spent about 5 hours getting the workflow down :)

Would it be possible, perhaps down the road, to attach a webhook to the
'publish' event? This way, I can point the webhook to a script on my site
which notifies Twitter subscribers that project documentation has been
updated.
This is a great addition, though. Thanks again for all the great work!

Oh yes, good call. I'm in the middle of updating API docs right now,
but I'll add publish and update events for FAQs.

Too awesome. Full of win you all are!

I would also be interested in twitter publishing for FAQ adds and updates!
10 Posted by rick on 19 Jan, 2010 02:06 PM
Seriously? 140 character FAQs? I'm not sure I see the point?
Oh, you probably mean pushing updates to Twitter when FAQs are
updated! Well, I'm going to add FAQ webhook events, so you can do
this yourself. Actually, I may just add this as an example hook :)

Yeah, exactly -- I do this manually now when I publish a new article.

We just added webhook events when FAQs are published or updated. You can setup your own twitter hooks based on that if you want. We may add Twitter integration for FAQs into Tender, but I'm not sure how Twitter's Oauth registration for apps will work with the very simplistic Tender webhook system.
