in reply to Perlmonks.org has a Twitter account now?

While we're on the subject, I'll take this opportunity to remind monks that we do have an "official" Facebook page, which should be a good off-site source of information in the event of disaster. Please note: we will generally only use that page if/when it is impossible to post an announcement here.

Any other channels people know of? Will somebody post announcements in the cbstream in the event of disaster? (By disaster, I mean PerlMonks going down.)

I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.

    Last time PerlMonks was down, some folks gathered at irc.perl.org#perlmonks ...

    Iff www.perlmonk.org (note the missing 's') would be on-line again, that could be another place to post a note.

    Or just wait and pray ... ;-)

    You could put the links to both the Twitter account and Facebook page in the footer of each page, saying something not exactly like...

    In the event that this site is experiencing difficulties, please see our Twitter or Facebook feeds for more information.

    Then make sure that those feeds are updated when the site goes down or has other major problems.

      Maybe your notion of "going down" is different from mine.

        I am not going to touch that.
