You have a blog and a Twitter account, and you want to share your blog posts with your contacts and friends every time you publish an update on your blog. You can do it manually by going in your Twitter account and post a link to your blog post every time, or you can follow the instructions and tips below to get it automated.
I first opened my Twitter account because I wanted to share the stuffs which I blog about there. But, the problem was, most of the time after I completed a post and published it, I didn’t feel like going on Twitter immediately to post a link to the blog post. Then, later I would forget and this way I ended up not sharing most of the good stuffs.
So I did some research online and found out there is a really easy(and free) way to automate all this blog-post-sharing-on-twitter headache. TwitterFeed.com will get your RSS feeds twittering in no time.
You will also need an OpenID, which is used to provide a single sign in to many websites. With only one username, you can forget all your other passowords. You can your OpenID for free at MyViDoop.com.
The interesting thing about MyViDoop is that your “password” is actually 3 categories that you will have to pick from a list of images and remember them for future use. Then, the next time, when you log in, you will have to select the categories you picked from other lists of images. I believe this is a great way of keeping access to your various accounts highly secure. All you have to remember is your 3 categories, the order in which they were selected is not important.
Once you get your OpenID, you can use it to login to TwitterFeed and submit your blog details and set an interval for checking your feeds. That’s it, you are all done. Now your blog will be checked every time after this interval and any new blog post you made will be shared on your Twitter account.
