I just made an account @ Twitter ( 'UWCommunity')
It's about posting news around Battlefield (Mods, videos etc) and also in-house news.
For me it's much more comfortable to write a short text + a link instead of a news in the battlefield section. Some news are neat but not worthy enough to get a own thread in the forum.
You can view the site at:
http://twitter.com/UWCommunity
You can find a little box at the portal page with the 3 latest tweets. (at twitter messages are called "tweets")
I'ts pretty similar to the shout box but only for news
