twitter list publishing
i would be neat to publish a "politwoops" list to twitter of the politicians / campaign accounts being followed . we can push this list to twitter via their api .
it would be different from "members of congress list" as it would have not-yet-members-of-congress in the list .
another list that would be dope : "Members of congress personal accounts" things that aren't in politwoops .
--timball
I am constantly adding and removing accounts in Politwoops as I try to keep up with new candidates, election results and people dropping out. The list of politicians we follow is available here on Politwoops and I don't understand why we would create (and then regularly maintain) a list somewhere else: http://politwoops.sunlightfoundation.com/users
Anyone could create this Twitter list with the existing site and I'm going to close this issue since it's not an enhancement of Politwoops.
the point isn't to create the list but to have your work autopublish the list ... from politwoops .

It's definitely something someone could do with the data we're providing, I just don't see how it's an enhancement of Politwoops.

the point isn't the generic "someone" but to publish an updated list everytime you add or drop a politician .

My question is how is this an enhancement of Politwoops?

Spoke with @timball in person and I'm reopening it since this could drive people to contribute suggestions about who we're missing in the system. :+1:
