Capistrano, meet Twitter: Keep your users updated through Twitter
June 04, 2008I recently deployed a beta of an application I'm working on and I thought it'd be nice to keep users updated about any new features or updates through twitter. So I wrote a spiffy Rails plugin that just adds a capistrano recipe for updating twitter statuses when you deploy.
capistrano_twitter just prompts you for a status update when you deploy and then updates the twitter status for the specified user (in config/deploy.rb). Of course, if you leave the status blank, no update will be made.

I'm pumped to start a project twitter worthy so that I can actually try out this fantastic script.
Twitter has some definite take over the world potential. Normally that would scare me but since its a Rails app... I'm cool with it.
