In my last post I mentioned that I signed up for Twitter. Well it’s getting better now. I have updated my page and have found some followers and followees and have tweeted a little. I only received the error that I talked about before once in the past couple of days so that’s cool. So be sure to follow me
I’ve also managed to send the feed from my blog to Twitter using a free service called TwitterFeed. This service allows you to add the RSS feed from your blog post directly to your Twitter status. You have to admit you can do some amazing things with RSS feeds. For example, you can “burn” them in FeedBurner, which provides you with a number of options for alternative feeds for your blog, tracking and stats, including ads and even managing subscriptions. One big, really cool thing about Feedburner is that it is a permanent feed – even if you change blogs (which could change your feed address), change URLs or change whatever – all you have to do is update your FeedBurner feed once with your new RSS URL, and anywhere you have added your feed using your FeedBurner URL will automatically be updated.
(Oops, forgot to do that! Meaning I’m going to have to update my TwitterFeed with my new FeedBurner URL, these social media tasks are never ending!)
Tip: Take some time to look at all the uses for your RSS feed from your blog or website or what have you. Feeds can be used for more than just having a place to link that little orange, square doo-hickey to on your site. You can use it to send your content to a number of place automatically.
Now, I’m off to go burn my feed for this blog
