Hi there , I have been using rss feeds on twitter and it updates with the latest news and does all my posting for me. this is great I have also done rss feeds from twitter to my wholesale forum and its all on AUTO. have any of you guys done this yet ?
Yup, that's basically the next best thing to do when you automate twitter. You should be monitoring it as well, though it's not that hard. I have friends who have blogs automated by twitter RSS feeds and they're doing pretty well.
I'm also using Rss feed with the help of rss2twitter.com and Google alerts. It helps me to maintain my twitter account.
True! You can use the RSS thing to jump-start a new account or to help you beefing up content. Don't forget to put some real gems in your twitter stream for people to re-tweet. It'll help your reputation a lot.
Is it really good to automate the Twitter though? I understand setting up Tweets to go out later on if you aren't at a computer but I feel like you're missing the whole interaction element to it. Maybe its good for business but for personal use, its might not be the best thing to do if you want to build connections
Not even for business use, if possible. The usual rule applies. The less automation and the more work you put into it, the higher quality followers you will attract.
For rss2twitter, you could use automated blog posting services that post from your rss feed to your twitter account like automatic posting. You're getting blog posts posted from your blog to your twitter feed, there are free wordpress plugins that can do this.
Yep, automation will bring you content but won't make a killer site, you're going to have to interact and post some useful tweets yourself...
