AH Social Media Integration
« on: January 09, 2014, 12:42:20 PM »

I would be interested to see AH activity when certain cartoon pilots enter AH online arenas on my Twitter feed. 

Example, 

AkSomeone is flying in the LWA.

AkSomeone landed 4 victories in P-38J.

AKSomeone is no longer in the LWA

Just an idea. :salute

Stalker.   :D

I've never understood the alure of Twitter personally but I can see where it might be a useful service for those who use it (I know I'm in the minority).

I'm not much of a Twitter user either but would check my feed for AH activity.  I didn't want to get into the "how to do it" or "security considerations" but I had imagined it would have to be configured by the user in order for the feature to work.

I agree something like that would be cool, I would love to know when my friends log in ( kind of like steam tells you)
It would make getting people together at the same time easier.

 :salute


Edit:

In addition it could be linked to your friends list on the forum.. so that when you log onto the forum your friends activity in the game would be reported on a ticker.

Sounds like a good idea of basic importance. Personally I don't ever use, look at, understand etc. twitter. But I recognize that I am antique and this sounds like exactly the kind of thing that "social" is good for.

My wife's job makes it necessary for her to keep track of hiring trends and legal issues related to employees and social media. There are services who's only product is mining social media for the HR industry. When you have 100 resumes for a single position, it's a good way to eliminate half without having to read their resume or interact with them. Today it's easier to admit an arrest record and explain it in an interview than never getting a chance to defend the poor judgment fool you act in social media. First impressions are everything even if you don't know who's watching. And it's no longer large corporations taking advantage of these services.

And if you tell people at one social media spot where you use your real name that you are captxyz at game "kill all squirrels". If that game has an open forum to the public. That's one more social media link to follow for research. And you will never get the chance to explain away things with "just fooling around" or "just kidding".

For the perspective employer it gives them an insight to your self control when you think no one is looking.

I think someone mentioned having a "opt in" feature...so it would only work if you let it.  So unless you did so, you would be safe as you play hookie from work.   :aok

This is quite true...and I have a bit of experience with this.  Social Media in all it's forms can be a very powerful tool in the right or wrong hands. 

Kinda off topic, but if you want to see some stuff that might change how you view Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc then Google "Social Zombies".  Look for the videos from the ShmooCom and Black Hat Information Security conferences and watch them.  And yes, all the things they post are real capabilities that can (and are) used by hackers to make use of social media.

I had squad members in mind.  Not the universe.  I used Twitter as an example but it could be anything really.  An Aces High App, for example.
