Getting Your Blog Tweeted

Having to update all your social networks individually is time consuming. Use Twitterfeed to set up RSS feeds to Twitter from your blog. It’s a simple three step process:

1. Decide which social networks you want to post to.

2. Log into 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)

3. Provide them with the URL for your blog’s RSS feed

If this all sounds very techie it isn’t. Just click on the help links. I set up this blog to feed into Twitter this way by just adding <http://eyetoeye1.wordpress.com/feed> into the Twitterfeed site and it updated straight away.

Simples!

WebTV DrinkUp – Cancelled

Apologies but due to the adverse weather in London the above event is cancelled.

We will re-schedule it in a few weeks at Century Club 61-63 Shaftsbury Avenue, London W1D 6LQ.

We are generously sponsored by Videoplaza and CEO and Founder Sorosh Tavakoli will be on hand to answer questions about their new video advertising service. They have managed to solve the big question of how to make online video profitable – so come along and find out how.

Manage Twitter Streams in Your Browser

There’s another way to manage your Twitter streams – Monitter. You just type your search terms into the boxes at the top of the three columns and watch as they fill with tweets. You can add more than three columns by clicking on the plus option at the bottom right of your screen.

You can also do this on Tweet Deck but this is an application you have to download and install as opposed to monitoring Tweets in your browser. At last a way to manage your Tweet stream when you’re on an iPhone on the train!

WebTV Group

I run the London based WebTV Group, a loose collection of people working in online video. With broadband speeds increasing and innovative video serving platforms springing up such as Ooyala the barrier to entry for anyone who wants to create their own online TV station is lowered. We meet up onece a quarter to share a drink and network. If you would like to join us please register here and we’ll let you know when and where the next event is.

Tuttle Club @ The ICA

Orbit DVD

We are currently creating an ambient/classical DVD project with renown producer Craig Leon under the band name Orbit. We’ll have a 3min demo up here soon, so check back to have a sneak preview. We are creating the piece to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the moon landing in July 1969.

We’re writing and storyboarding the project in the South of France at a villa in Villefranche-sur-Mer in early February. Check back here if you want to follow what we’re up to.

Make Twitter Work for You

Did you know if you search Twitter with a hash tag (#) in front of your search term you will get a stream of results around that term. Try using a desktop Twitter client like Tweet Deck for the best results.

Use it to track your interests or for research. Current trending topics would be seen like this: #Obama or #Inag09. I’ve found it to be one of the more useful tools available – especially if you want to follow events like MIDEM, the annual music industry convention currently on in Cannes, France or get virtualy involved with Amplified #amp09, the WebTV conference currently on at the ICA in London.
