Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 Replying to [comment:1 isis]:
 > I would second the idea to use IFTTT, but would warn that, even though
 IFTTT uses Twitter's OAUTH API, IFTTT requests the "IFTTT would like to be
 able send tweets as you" permission. But perhaps this is not a problem for
 us, and the convenience of automated blog post tweeting overrides any
 paranoid schizophrenic concerns that some disgruntled IFTTT employee might
 suddenly decide to tweet ''"New Tor Browser available at
 !https://torbrowserbundle.com"'' from the @torproject account.

 Of course, there's already the danger of a disgruntled Twitter or Tor
 employee... ;) I agree it incurs a slight extra risk, and if, in the
 future, someone wants to replace IFTTT with a home-grown script, I'm in
 favor. But I think it would be good at least to use IFTTT as a first
 version.
