And it won't be. I had vaguely imagined using it for semi-regular 
news updates from the core D team, but I realized early on that 
isn't going to pan out.

Stepping up twitter usage is one of  my priorities for this year. 
The blog tweets are automated every time I publish a new blog 
post. I'm slowly increasing my twitter time investment, 
responding and retweeting #dlang tweets when it fits.

I plan to start tweeting out smaller news items there that aren't 
big enough for blog posts. I'll keep an eye on the forums for 
news, and cast a net outside the core community now and again.

I encourage anyone who sees something they think @D_Programming 
should tweet out to email me and let me know. Or tweet about it 
with #dlang. I'm scanning Twitter every couple of days right now.

I also have an announcement coming on the blog very soon 
regarding using Twitter to fix bugs.
