I got this idea from the mojang website, I saw the latest tweets by the mojang employees. This got me thinking, what if you visited a profile (if you had a setting enabled) you could view their latest tweets if they linked their twitter? I don't know if a feature of the sort is on any forums currently but it IS on the mojang website! This can help people by allowing others to see their tweets and what they're about, and if the user likes the same kind of things or is interested in the same kind of things that the viewer of the profile likes! And maybe they'll check out their twitter, and maybe see who they follow and maybe find some other youtubers that they haven't heard about or some other cool modification that they were just hoping to be real. Next thing you know this person that just happened to stumble upon someones profile page on the Minecraft Forums has found something to do in their time that they may end up being bored, because "Oh look, this youtuber (that I found through twitter) just uploaded a video!" or, "This modification (that I found through twitter or other means including twitter) is great, I might just play it for a few hours!" It may not seem likely but it's very possible through the power of social media, although I don't recommend facebook because, like Notch says, "Facebook creeps me out" and it probably creeps out many minecrafters, and twitter is where more of the minecrafters seem to be at. If a user doesn't want to see other peoples tweets, fine, they can just disable the tweet feed view in their settings. It's an overall good idea in my opinion.
