Hey guys, it looks like today was a pretty bad day for support. Just like you, I'd like my compile to finish quickly.
Sometimes you might think: should I get some coffee? or do some laundry?
Well... there is this thing call twitter. If we can use it on a sparing basis, I'm sure the build team will tell us when it's good get back to work.
FWIW: I'll tweet this to the build team and see if they can respond to this post.
TIA
Jesse

1. If you already have mail notification or an RSS feed that makes messages "come to you", there is no need for yet another stream of messages
2. Messages that "come to you" interrupt your daily work. More streams interrupt more often. Also, more streams imply that the same message will reach you multiple times, interrupting you more often.
3. More channels for the same type of messages diffuse the conversation. People may react to the message on one channel, but not on the other. Information gets chattered and is not properly archived for later retrieval.
If the Twitter channel was just another way of getting the same messages from the same source, I would be all too happy. But multiple independent sources for the same type of messages is introducing redundancy.
Every application developer in IT knows that redundancy is bad (network people may like it, though).

The type of redundancy IT people want is to decrease work and frustration rather than the opposite :).
So, are you saying there are RSS feeds for this community? I need to look into that.
