+
+The [Drupal Meetups Twitterbot][0] is a small project that I worked on a few
+months ago, but hadn't got around to promoting yet. It’s intention is to provide
+[one Twitter account][1] where people can get the up to date news from various
+Drupal meetups.
+
+It works by having a whitelist of [Twitter accounts and hashtags][2] to search
+for, uses [Codebird][3] to query the Twitter API and retweets any matching
+tweets on a scheduled basis.
+
+If you would like your meetup group to be added to the list of searched
+accounts, please [open an issue][4] on the GitHub repo.
