Well, I guess the best way to revive a project is to announce that it is almost dead… Ham Twits, since that post, has been growing by leaps and bounds and now boasts a membership of over 50 twits!
Growth is always a good thing, but, it quickly came apparent that the list, maintained as HTML in my CMS, was not the easiest thing to maintain. So, I contacted Peter Goodhall, M3PHP (aka magicbug) and asked him to help me come up with a design for a new website. That, combined with the generous donation of the HamTwits.com domain name by Dan Dawson, KI6ESH (aka DanDawson), allowed me to design a good looking, database driven website for the Ham Twit list.
Check it out at www.hamtwits.com
I am still working on it, but the basic features are there. Twits are classified under their DXCC entity and are currently sorted by region. I’ve also added the QTH and the FriendFeed name of those twits who have accounts there.I’ll be working expanding the information gathered and adding sorting and the ability for twits to update their own information. Not quite there yet, but as I believe in releasing early and often, I have opted to unleash the site in it’s fully-baked-but-still-nice-and-chewy-in-the-middle state.
As always, if you would like to be added, shoot me a e-mail, DM, or an @, and I’ll be happy to add you!
Share and Enjoy!
