Convention: Tag RubyGems Tweet about your Gem Release and "tiny link" Changelog Diff
@rubygems is tweeting the description of the gemspec for each release.
So you can add hashtags to your description and I also recommend to add a link to a Diff of the CHANGELOG.md at the end if present.
voluntary.gemspec
Gem::Specification.new do |s|
...
s.summary = 'Crowdsourcing management system for Rails'
s.description = '#Crowdsourcing management system for #Ruby on #Rails changes: http://bit.ly/voluntary-0-2-3'
...
The tweet looks like this
P.S.: How to get a "rich diff" of a CHANGELOG.md
Visit the GitHub show page of the commit and then copy the address of the link "Display the rich diff" shown in the image:
You now need a short customized URL e.g. from bitly (you need to be signed in).
Then you can create a new short URL by pasting the address in the field at the top with the placeholder "Paste a long URL here to shorten...", press enter, input the gem name plus version like this "#{name}-#{major}-#{minor}-#{patch}" in the keyword-field with the placeholder "customize" located in the right sidebar and press "Save".
