Twitterfeed : Post your blog to twitter

Hi!, If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or sign up for free email updates.. Thanks for visiting!

After my last post entitled “5 simple steps to drive traffics to your blog from Twitter” , I found out there is an easier way to post your blog post to twitter. By using Twitterfeed, all your latest post feeds will be periodically sent as new twits on Twitter. It takes only three steps to get your blog (or any other RSS or Atom feed) twittering.


1. Create a new twitter user at twitter.com (or use your existing one)

For the most obvious reason, you got to have a twitter account in order to send your post to twitter. If you don’t have a twitter account, you can sign up one free account for yourself. Those that already possessed an account, all your blog feeds will be posted to this account. Twitterfeed needs to know your chosen twitter username and password so it can post your blog updates to your twitter account.

2. Login to Twitterfeed using your OpenID

The next step is to login to Twitterfeed by using OpenID. If you don’t have an OpenID, you can create one for free. If you are wondering what is an OpenID, here is what I found on the net

OpenID starts with the concept that anyone can identify themselves on the Internet the same way websites do-with a URI (also called a URL or web address). Since URIs are at the very core of Web architecture, they provide a solid foundation for user-centric identity.

Besides OpenID, you can sign-in to Twitterfeed by using these logins too:

Yahoo! users: read how to use your Yahoo! account with idproxy.net
Livejournal users: you can login as [yourname].livejournal.com [more info]
Vox users: you can login as [yourname].vox.com (your Vox blog URL)
Wordpress.com users: you can login as [yourname].wordpress.com [more info]

3. Provide the URL for your blog’s RSS feed, and how often it should be posted to twitter

The final step is to add your blog’s RSS feed to Twitterfeed. Besides your blog’s RSS feed, you can also add other feeds like your Flickr feeds or any other services.

twitterfeed-feed-setup

In the configuration page, you can set the Update Frequency. This setting describes how often Twitterfeed will check your feed for new posts. For the very first time, Twitterfeed will post the most recent entry only, and after that, any new entries since the last time new post is created.

Nice isn’t it?. Now with Twitterfeed, you can twit as many times as possible without even typing a new twit. Have fun twitting! :-) .
