All -- As some of you know, we're already on Facebook. Our group, Brennor's RPG Corner, is one place where you can get information about site outages, and other general information.

We can also now be found on Twitter! You'll be able to find more information there, including announcements of new games, new game ideas, and many others.

You can also configure Facebook to retweet the posts to Twitter (and configure Twitter to post to Facebook).

I'd recommend setting up an automated RSS feed for our front page news to feed into FB and Twitter :) I used the free HootSuite to configure the RSS feeds to auto publish, but HootSuite isn't very reliable - you had to re-connect accounts every week or two or it stopped working.

I've been messing with FB and Twitter, trying to figure out how to link them. I could link them to my personal account, but unsure how to link it to just the Facebook group.

Is it a FB group or an FB Page? I think you need to link to either personal account or FB Page. I don't think FB groups are supported with the retweeting/reposting.

This is a great idea, BTW. Not sure why I didn't think of it before. I use twitter way more than google+ and google+ waaay more than facebook.

Like I mentioned on IRC, it got suspended. No idea why. I followed around 30 things and made 2 tweets. That's it.

That's strange. Did you try emailing twitter support? Someone might have reported it as spam, but I've reported dozens of spam accounts that are still active so I doubt twitter would have reacted so quickly.
