Getting Your Blog Tweeted
February 3, 2009 at 12:10 PM · Filed under Advertising, Blogging, New Media, Social Media, Twitter and tagged: Social Media, Twitter, Twitterfeed
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.

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!

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.
