Who is doing what on social media these days?

...coming out of a COVID pandemic coma, I'm wondering who is minding the media?

I have been tweeting all the new papers (title, author, DOI, and twitter handles if provided on cover sheets), doing a bit of retweeting, and monitoring the twitter DMs for questions..

Admitting that I could not post the EA papers regularly, I occasionally promote related tweets to keep the page active, and answering some questions if any.

Hi All, I have been slow/nonexistent on the EarthArXiv twitter account for the past several months. Is anybody else interested in taking over and tweeting paper titles/authors/DOIs ?

@Tom Narock did a bot to deliver content to Mastodon. Perhaps we could find someone to update LInkedIn? I'm off of Facebook and Twitter, myself.

@Evan Goldstein not sure if you saw, but CDL recently released a method to programmatically get all the metadata for accepted preprints. As Bruce mentioned, I've been trying this out and auto posting to Mastodon. It would be nice to automate all of our social media posts. Happy to share code examples if that's useful. Maybe we could start some sort of social media working group to automate these posts

i think that is definitely the way forward, though i know the twitter API is undergoing some significant changes and it is not super clear if there will be a free version that lets one have an 'App' ...
