User tag should allow Twitter as an option
Title:
User tag should allow Twitter as an option
Area:
DW-specific HTML Markup
Summary:
The user DW tag will work with a number of external sites, mostly LJ-based sites, plus AO3. Given the popularity of Twitter we could add Twitter to the list, with a service-appropriate icon.
Description:
A lot of fans use Twitter, and at least some of us would find it pleasing to be able to link to our Twitter accounts the way we do to our AO3/LJ/DJ/IJ accounts, with the matching service icon and so on.
The advantage of this is visual consistency, especially for posts with a laundry list of "here's how to contact me" options. I can't think of any particular drawbacks, other than perhaps a small additional load on the server by adding another icon that has to be served whenever twitter accounts are linked in this way.
This suggestion:
Should be implemented as-is.
