How to tweet blog posts of your good friends automically: Would it be great to tweet new blog posts of your trustworthy friends automatically to Twitter every time they publish a new post ?

This can be done with Twitterfeed.

Watch this video how.

Here again the necessary steps:

1. Set up an account on twitterfeed
2. Click on create a new feed
3. Grab the RSS feed from someone’s blog and paste it in
4. Test the feed in order to see if it works.
5. Click on advanced settings
6. …Update frequency: 30 minutes
7. Enter your bit.ly settings.
8. Post content title only (or title and description)
9. Post prefix: RT @username (their user name not yours)
10. Post a suffix: for example #proveit2011 or something else. Or leave it blank.
11. Click: Continue to step 2
12. Choose Facebook and/or Twitter (authenticate accounts if you’re new): Without choosing an account, nothing will be posted to Twitter !
13. Click: All Done

That’s already it.

Usually Twitterfeed grabs the most recent post of this blog right away. So make sure that you don’t retweet it twice. I don’t know how Twitter would look upon this.

What is your opinion ?

That is pretty cool, I would want to make sure they don’t go off the deep end and start blogging on how government is secretly ran by an alien race but yeah, very cool tip Oliver!

Hi Ray,

of course, that’s what I mean by “good friends” and “trustworthy friends”. We can stop that in a breath !

Thanks for your comment and you’re welcome.

Take care

Hi Oliver,
Thankyou so much for sharing this video, in trying to set up my twitterfeed account, I still cannot figure out what the url is to put in where it says Feed Name & Blog URL or RSS url, what is that & where do I find it? Thanks again!

Karlene

P.S. You can also message me in facebook if that is more convenient for you.

Hi Karlene,

normally every blog has that orange RSS symbol. If you move your mouse over that one, you can copy & paste the url of this blog’s RSS feed (right click on a PC or ctrl + mouse click on a Mac)

Alternatively, it should work with – taking your blog as an example – “http://www.karlenemiller.com/feed/” as well. You can test it with Twitterfeed if the feed works or not.

So for my blog the feed url would be:”http://www.askolivertausend.com/feed/”

You have to copy and paste this feed address in the relevant field in Twitterfeed – and then hit test feed in order for you to see if it works.

The feed name is only for your reference. I usually choose the name of the blog owner.

Does that help ?

Thanks for your comment.

Take care

Oliver

Hi Christina,

you rock, my 1/2 German friend, awesome – I didn’t know that. Pretty cool.

Your question and the answer:

1. Open a bit.ly account or log into your existing account.
2. Click on your username next to your picture at the right top of the page.
3. Then click on settings.
4. Then you see the API key, copy it.
5. Paste the API key into the relevant field on Twitterfeed.

That’s it.

Feel free to ask any question you might have.

Take care

Oliver

Hey Oliver,

What a great and helpful post! Loved the video with the accompanying step-by-step instructions – makes it so much easier to follow.

I set this up a while ago for some of my good friends, I need to add more to my account

Thanks for putting this together, Oliver.

All the best,
Mavis

P.S. Love your new vertical social sharing box

Hi Mavis,

thanks for your comment and your feedback. Glad you liked the information and the way I presented it.

The vertical sharing box is great, I even added two boxes (Linkedin and comments) without an cluttered impression (at least in my opinion). The main sheet where the posts are is cleaner now, that is important also.

Great that you added my blog to your Twitterfeed automation, it’s awesome to already see 5 retweets a few minutes after the publication of a post.

Have an awesome week.

Take care

Oliver

Hi Heather,

thanks for your appreciation. Everybody benefits from it – I got a new post and video idea, and people’s questions got answered. It’s definitely a good thing to combine a video tutorial with text instructions – so both parts of the brain are adddressed.

Thanks again for your comment.

Take care

Hi Nelly,

I am a friend of building personal relationships “manually” and using technology for routine tasks whenever we can, at the same time. No dogmas

Being of service for you makes me very happy.

Thanks for your comment.

Thanks Oliver, I am currently going through and trying to add a couple of people at a time. For some reason, I find it difficult to find the feed to copy… but usually its the website domain /feed I believe….don’t know why this seems so difficult. LOL… I will get used to it I hope. Thanks for this great piece of information! Jayne

Hi Jayne,

that’s true – on every blog the symbol is some place else…but by adding “/feed” to the domain you should be fine. And you can test the feed.

Thanks for your comment.

Take care
