Blog Publishers, Twitterize Your Feed

Posted in Random by Dan at 10:38 am

It is hard to ignore that Twitter, although more offline then online, exists on the internet and has a large following. More an more blogs are creating Twitter accounts so they can tap the Twitter universe. The problem being is that are only WordPress plugins that cross post. Now there is a web app that will take ANY feed from any source and cross post the content into Twitter.

Getting started
Here’s how to get your blog (or any other RSS or Atom feed) twittering:

Create a new twitter user at twitter.com (or use your existing one)
this twitter user is going to be the one posting your blog entries - twitterfeed needs to know your chosen twitter username and password so it can post your blog updates to your twitter account

Login to twitterfeed using your OpenID
OpenID is a standard for providing single sign on between web sites
You can register your own OpenID for free, or may even be able to use your existing blog ID [more]

Provide us with the URL for your blog’s RSS feed, and how often we should post to twitter
Our server will check your blog’s feed at the specified interval and post any new items to your twitter account. You just sit back and relax!

If you are a blog publisher this may be down your alley.

  1. Actually this has been around for a fair amount of time. But that aside, it is a really useful service. Things like this could make Twitter a news and content platform, rather than a “this is what i’m doing now” thing, which would be great.
