This scares me; if WOW subscribers start using Twitter, soon, EVERYONE will be using it!!! | |
This seems to be the only productive use for me to use twitter. Yet, I still deny it -.- | |
Excuse me, waiter? | |
Two things lots of nerds love that I don't have finally been combined. At least this makes Twitter more accessible, I suppose, and no publicity is bad publicity. | |
it's the sign of the apocalypse. i hate twitter with a passion | |
Dear.God.Why!? /Facedesk. | |
And people don't listen when I say WoW is getting WAY TOO CASUAL. This is worse than people playing Peggle in-game. | |
Hey, Peggle is fucking awesome. And having a minigame in a game that was never that super hardcore is clearly the end of the world. WoW was always casual. Even the vanilla raids were casual. | |
UUUURRRRGGHHHH, this disgusts me to the point of... well, infinity really. | |
Whats the big deal ... gee you people like to overreact a lot. | |
I love that anything related to WoW is instantly filled with fire and brimstone and epic music. I dont think twitter deserves this badassery | |
I for one support this even though I hate WoW with a passion. /flamebait. | |
...why not? | |
I love you, I was starting to get back into wow and now you have roundhouse kicked me away <3 | |
Don't like WoW, love Twitter. What a dreadful conflict. Oh wait. I can still use Twitter outside of WoW. This strikes me as being rather pointless unless you're absolutely attached to your Twitter. I can wait an hour or two to check in on mine: I don't need it breaking into my game time. | |
I am now waiting for the LiveJournal add on, for maximum effect. "Omg wiped again, QQ, why can't they ever learn :( :( Three times now!! *headdesk* Must say though the trailer/ad looks well put together, but still, it is disturbing. Shouldn't people be spending in game time, I don't know - playing the game? I suppose it does have a practical use as guilds set up guildtwitters to keep people posted as they raid. No, wait, this is just still a bad idea. | |
Yeah, Twitter is probably one of the last things you think of when "epic" comes to mind. WoW seems to just be taking more and more addicting things and cramming them into the game. Any day now, you can expect Blizzard to give you crystal meth as a reward for playing. | |
Your missing a very important point to the equation. They don't leave ever leave WoW, except on Tuesday mornings :) | |
You can also play chess... Anyway, this is bad. | |
Lol,fail,and twitter is trying so hard to be as popular as facebook but no one gives a damn about it,as five times more people still visit face,i dislike either,if i wanna talk to someone il call him or ask him out,and wow has a great chat system,you dont need twiits | |
Since when did anyone give a damn about Twitter to include it in Warcraft? | |
This. I told my friend who plays WoW about this and he was ecstatic about it. It really just pushed me away from it more. | |
So, it seems WOW has further degraded into an 3d blog... | |
As a wow player i know that my breed is disliked. I wont say that I'm not heavily addicted because that would be a lie. I don't use twitter but this may get me to start. I for one would like to know when my friends get and achievement or are radding naxx. If you dont play WoW or Twitter then this dosen't affect you. just click out of the page and move on. | |
Kind of apt that the first syllable of this thing is twit... | |
I thought people played games to play, not to watch what some emo kids want to cry about. | |
Oh, snap! Now WoW addicts have one less reason to alt+tab (god forbid, quit) out of the game, and I have one more reason not to try WoW or Twitter, ever. | |
It could be worse... they could have co-mingled ICQ or Yahoo messenger into the game. I'm still waiting for the 'in-game' advertising to hit... like how in Battlefield 2142 the billboards and signs in the game are marketed directly at you specific products based on your location... It always breaks my suspension of disbelief when I'm cruising around with my friends behind a futuristic gun mounted on top of a futuristic jeep past a "Stride Gum" billboard, or Big Brother's season premiere... | |
The true power of this is the fact anytime I take a screenshot, BAM it gets uploaded to the net. Freaking amazing. | |
I'm so sick of social networking. I don't want to talk to my old primary and high school 'friends'. If I wanted to talk to them I'd pick up my damn phone! And why should I care if Stephen Fry took another poo and decided to put it on Twitter? I love Stephen Fry but...come on! | |

Twitter Comes to World of Warcraft
Your dreams of being able to see what Ashton Kutcher is doing minute-by-minute while raiding Ulduar at the same time have finally come true thanks to TweetCraft, a Twitter client for World of Warcraft.
Two of the most ubiquitous, compulsively addictive and loved/hated forces in modern internet-life have finally come together with the advent of TweetCraft, an add-on for World of Warcraft that makes letting everyone you know and even more people you don't know exactly how you're wasting your life right now easier than ever before.
Decked out to look like any other window in the WoW interface, TweetCraft lets you read and update your Twitter profile without alt-tabbing out of WoW. It does neat things like letting you upload in-game screenshots straight to Twitter via popular service TwitPic, sends out automatic updates when you get an Achievement or enter an instance, and more. You can tweak TweetCraft so it only sends updates when it's convenient for you, which might help some of your non-WoW enthusiast Twitter followers from de-following you after the 300th "I'm in Ulduar now" update.
The add-on was created by a staff of four, including two Microsoft employees, so you know this isn't some amateur stuff. The TweetCraft trailer certainly isn't - it's a bit more dramatic and polished than you'd expect for something as trivial as Twitter in World of Warcraft.
Oh okay, sorry if I stepped on any toes here, I know this kind of stuff is far from trivial for some of you guys. Because sometimes spamming guild chat with Achievement Unlocked notifications isn't enough. Sometimes you need to tell the entire world.
