  I've found the RSS feeds can be somewhat flaky, how about setting up a process that would post to twitter with a search tag dependent upon the forum and include the subject? This would just be based upon a new topic being submitted and not based upon individual posts.

  Example based upon this topic:

  Forum Topic Twitter Feed #SSCSuggest

  Other example search tags:

  • #SSC2K8Gen - SQL 2008 General
  • #SSC2K8TSQL - SQL 2008 T-SQLl
  • #SSC2K5Sec - SQL 2005 Security

  To enter the shortcode directly into templates using PHP, enter

  echo do_shortcode('[twitter-feed]');

  So I'm wondering if 300-600 tweets a day is an issue? We get that many new threads started some days.

  I was thinking more that we might kick out posts that didn't have an answer in 4 hours or posts that have had more than 10 responses.
