491 Feed Your Blog to Twitter [Tutorial]

Here is a short video tutorial on how to import your blog updates into your twitter account using the Twitterfeed service. In other words, whenever you publish a post on your blog, your twitter is updated with a link to your blog for that post.

In the video we also show how to do the same for your flickr account. When you post a new photo, your twitter is updated with a link to it.

The same principle applies to any other site that has an RSS feed.

    I’m totally a greenhorned newb to blogging, but have begun exploring web 2.0 apps. I’ve a question…Will twitterfeed update my blog based on ANY update, such as an edit? Hopefully the feeds are only for new posts. I like the idea of twitterfeed but I am reticent to try it while I am just learning how to use a blog like wordpress. Call it broadcast fear if you like, but my content is sparse right now and I’m mostly familiarizing myself with the tools at this point.

    Hi Michael,
    The tutorial above is for your twitter account getting updated with your blog posts rather than the other way around. I had a look at your blog and it’s hosted on WordPress.com which means you are not able to load any custom plugins which are available for self-hosted wordpress blog + allow you to feed your twitter postings to your blog. There might be a way with WordPress.com but I am not aware of it. Sorry.
    Thanks for stopping by..

    Twitterlive.net also feeds your blog to twitter and the majority of social networks like linked in if you have a Ping.fm account. You even have your own feed channel so you get the SEO benefit that comes with it. Check it out is very slick.
