Earlier, we have discussed the use of microblogging like Twitter. I used to manually post a link to Twitter to promote some of my very own blog post. There’s some work need to be done like copy and paste the post URL, type in a short description or just the post title. My friend then introduced me to a very useful tool, so that all my blog posts will be automatically posted in Twitter. Isn’t this great?
Introducing TwitterFeed…
To make this work, you need the following:
- A Twitter account.
- An OpenID.
- Your blog RSS feed / feedburner URL.
Once you have all these three things ready, all you got to do is to associate all these in Twitterfeed. Login to Twitterfeed with your existing OpenID. (Haven’t have an OpenID? Find out how.)
Then start to synchronize your feed by clicking the “Create new twitter feed“.
Fill in your twitter account information, follow by your RSS feed URL and configure how often should your feed be updated. It’s quite straight forward and I believe you have no problem understanding it for the rest of the configuration.
Once you hit the “Create” button, you are done! Just sit back and relax everytime you publish a post. Let Twitterfeed do the rest for you.
Besides Twitterfeed, you can also try Feedlr. It works more or less the same like Twitterfeed. You can sign up an account in Feedlr or just use your OpenID to access the site! (See how useful is OpenID now?)
Do you use microblogging to promote your blog? What do you think about microblogging? Do you think it’s helpful to draw traffic to your blog?
