On Friday I handed control of all the RTÉ twitter accounts back to RTÉ.
After what happened in the previous post, I didn't want the same happening to all the other accounts. I counted that there was over 15,000 people following all the different accounts I had running. So after a quick tweet or two to Mr. O'Shea, I found who I should be contacting about the transfer of details.
I got a two sentence email back from them four days later:
Dear Darran,After over two years of providing the service and not abusing the names or the accounts for my own gain (quite easy to embed my own advertising into the feeds) or just holding onto them and doing nothing with them, all I got from RTÉ was that two sentence, poorly written email.
Thank you very much your email. We are happy to take over the ownership of these accounts and will appreciate if you send us all necessary details.
Best regards,
I sent over all the log in details and after a couple of days downtime the accounts have started spewing out news once again. Already there are problems with their new account feeds, which I would have picked up on and fixed straight away... lets see how @RTE_WebDesign handle it :-)
P.S. Can you change the email address on all the account or I might forcefully take them back!
I spotted a few news bits and pieces coming through so hopefully they will be as reactive and quick as you were.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the effort, it was great to get the news delivered into Tweetdeck in such small nuggets, especially for those days when the radio was off!
