No doubt that Twitter is more than a microblogging platform for bloggers and webmasters. Bloggers grow their twitter followers in order to reach more and more people. What if your feeds automatically post to your twitter followers as soon as the new blog is posted? Won't it save some time of yours?
Feedburner recently launched a feature to connect your feeds to your twitter account. In this way, you can socialize your feeds.
Well, Feedburner has grown up a lot after joining Google.
Steps to connect Feedburner with Twitter
1) Login to your Feedburner account and go to
http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/socialize
2) Add a twitter account and allow Feedburner to access the twitter.
3) Now you have to optimize the tweets.
- The post content:
- Hashtags:
- Additional text: Here you can add additional tags like "via feeds" or "via Feedburner" or "tweeting feeds" or anything you like. I like to add my twitter handle.
The below image shows the sample tweets of the recent posts. One thing more fascinating is that it uses Google's URL shortener Goo.gl (read more) to shorten the URL. You can know more about many other URL shorteners in my post URL Shortener.
This is the shortened URL for this post by Goo.gl :)I hope this post helps you to socialize your feeds!
You can share your opinions about this feature of Feedburner and how you socialize your feeds!
