Blizzard to integrate Twitter into World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor with Patch 6.1

Blizzard will be bringing a new bird to World of Warcraft, but it won't be a mount or a pet. It won't even be a boss, it will be the little blue bird called Twitter – the 140 character limiting hashtag social media machine.

Players will be able to use Twitter to promote in-game events, milestones, achievements or even just to show off screenshots from in-game.

How this integration will work is interesting, there will no API calls or automatic functions — that means that if you want to use Twitter in-game it will be done manually, not through an add-on. Twitter will not be automatically enabled when you initially log-on WoW, you will have to enable it. Where you will log on to Twitter is a question that has not been answered, but we do know that the integration will not let you create accounts.

If you're downing bosses in a guild, killing in PVP, or exploring the world, there's a lot to Tweet about. What would you Tweet about from WoW?

Imagine if Twitter was integrated into The Sims…It would be Tweets of Sims peeing themselves and dying for miles.

Yes that is a Raven Lord impersonating the Twitter bird.
