List attendees twitter usernames on event page
Opened this issue · 7 comments
It would be nice to display attendees twitter usernames on event page so we encourage people to join the event based on who's already attending.
Depends on #24
We should check if there is an API for this.
ping @YouWoTMA who has experience with twitter stuff.
Uhm, huge privacy issue, we shouldn't share openly who is attending the event...
You can make a text-field where you enter your username to see if any of your connections on twitter is going (you wouldn't have to authenticate, since twitter friends are public), but as I said, I'm very concerned with the privacy.
BTW, Should we speak English or Spanish in here?
English.
I don't see the privacy issue, we want to show people who's attending in some way to get more traction to people visiting the page. Most of the times you decide whatever or not you join an event because of the people that is already attending, most events pages do this.
We can add a note to twitter field on the form saying: "Note that your twitter name will be shared publicly on the event attendees list"
Spanglish
Actually, the twitter username is shared on sites like Eventbrite. In fact, all the atendees data is shared 👍
Yes, and I don't think it's fine to share publicly where and when you are going to be, at least without permission. People might not want to share this information.
Then, a note below the twitter field should be fine. It's up to you to fill it or not :)
