Steps to reproduce:

I'd like for us to create a Twitter account for MDN.  In doing so, we could:

1.  Announce Demo / DevDerby stuff
2.  Update users about new features
3.  Call for contributors
4.  Announce doc sprints
5.  Add photos of MDN doc sprints and meetups

A few names have been thrown around, but the only one I can think of is @mozdevnet.

Why not use @mozhacks for that? It already have a few thousands followers.

Especially the 3 will be difficult with a brand new account where only contributors are likely to follow...

/cc Robert for his opinion :-)

I think that's the general idea of @mozhacks 
We (and with we, I mean Developer Engagement w/ Sheppy, Janet, Jean-Yes, John etc) do all of these things now.

Personally, I see Mozilla Hacks and @mozhacks as the outreach points for evangelism in general, and part of that is as a bridge into MDN (e.g. blog about a feature, get people excited and also have complete documentation on MDN for it).
