Super User twitter account tweeting meta questions

Question

Finally, we have a Super User twitter account albeit with a el-crappy name ( thanks, twitter!), Still hurrah!

But.... one of the questions that was tweeted, turned out to be a meta question:

meta question

I'm not so sure if meta questions should be tweeted. IMO the Super User feed should restrict itself to activity from the main site, not the meta.

@Tom Wijsman: I agree with your comment, except for the downvote -- the way I see it, both the question and your comment make excellent points. — Randolf Richardson, Commented Aug 14, 2011 at 8:06
@Randolf: Votes on meta are used for (dis)agreement, not for clarity/usefulness. — Tamara Wijsman, Commented Aug 14, 2011 at 8:07
@Tom Wijsman: Ah, I see, and it's in the FAQ (although the points still count on the main site, don't they?): meta.superuser.com/faq#vote-differences — Randolf Richardson, Commented Aug 14, 2011 at 8:10
@Randolf: For that reason, there is no such thing as reputation on meta. The only meta where you can gather and lose reputation is Meta Stack Overflow. — Tamara Wijsman, Commented Aug 14, 2011 at 8:12

This is by design.

The twitter bot will do a few new things now:

I actually find it very useful to get notified of Meta discussions on sites I frequent
