Publish Posts to Social Networks Automatically
If you are still manually adding your posts to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Hellotxt, or Statusnet, it’s time to check out TwitterFeed! Twitter feed allows you to automatically pull as many feeds as you like to be published to all of the above mentioned social networks every time new content is added through those feeds. This is a great option for busy people who don’t have time to be posting to their social networks continually but who need fresh active content on those networks. If you got here through one of my social networks (i.e. facebook or twitter), then you are using TwitterFeed in action.
TwitterFeed is not a plugin and does not add anymore weight to your site at all. It couldn’t be more simple to use either. Here’s all you need to do.
- Register an account with TwitterFeed. (It’s free and just uses an email address, name, and password.)
- Choose a feed you want to use. (I pulled my feeds from my feedburner account.)
- Choose the services you want your feed to be sent to. (You’ll need to authenticate these individually the first time, but it takes just a few seconds to do.)
- Choose a campaign name as well as optional tags for your chosen service.
That’s all there is to it! You can repeat these steps with as many feeds as you would like to incorporate, and you can also use different social network accounts depending upon the feed. With Facebook, you also have the option of choosing from either pages or your personal profile. I also love the fact that TwitterFeed incorporates bit.ly (the popular link shortener) so that your links are nice and tidy.
It takes a little bit for everything to go through the first time, but once the feeds are successfully grabbed by these networks, they will start posting them within 30 minutes from the time new content is added through your feeds.
Leave a comment if you use and love TwitterFeed or if you are using a different solution for automatically posting blog content to your social networks!

i will try it ,thanks for this information
What kind of security implications does this have?
That’s a good question, Rudi. None that I can see as it’s all going directly to your own accounts that you have given approval to. So, it’s just like the security risk of you posting content directly to your social networks. You cant give permission for social networks that you don’t have credentials for.
