For better or for worse, our twitter account @denpanosekai has taken over this site for bleeding-edge denpa news delivery. Various factors are at play, but suffice to say those who use both Blogger and Twitter will agree the latter has a much snappier interface than the former. It's also pretty cool to connect with various Japanese artists, who never cease to be amazed some lowly foreigners would have any interest in their godly music. Finally, Mandi is behind a fair amount of the twitter posts while I, "denpanosekai" am in charge of blog stories, so it's a good way to share the workload.
That said, as an engineer I don't really trust twitter's ability to save messages forever and I don't appreciate how "old" tweets quickly get buried under new ones. For posterity, we will now be archiving tweets on a monthly basis. Although we have a very nice amount of twitter readers (let's go for 500!) this blog still drives a heck of a lot of traffic thanks to search engines (lots and lots of folks searching for denpa music torrents... and other weird things). At the very least, this will force us to have at least one post per month!
Note: format may change from month to month until we figure out a good way to do this.

Whoa, that seems like a lot of work! Are you doing it manually?
I like this idea, I don't check Twitter very often and it's very nice to check for news here. Just some days ago I noticed there's still a way to use the RSS feed, but this will help a lot.
Great job, as always.
I'm not a big fan of tweeter but I like coming here and see all sort of new "quickies" you guys post. Keep them coming! :P Song of the day is always nice.
It is all done manually, both me and Denpa post on it! (Though sometimes we use a queue feature to time the today's tune posts.)
I'm glad even though you guys don't use twitter too much, you still check out our updates there. I'm a really slow writer, so twitter helps the stuff be a bit more timely... I can understand why some people don't like the site that much, but it works well for a news clip feed.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for your comments!
z411 and Pillow, thanks you guys. You really prove my point about twitter!
Archiving the tweets gives all these great denpa news a permanent web presence. It's also really good for Google searche results ;)
