Socializing your feed with Twitter |Google FeedBurner

Sometimes you reach across the hedgerow to share with your nearby neighbors. Other times, members of the household move away
and yet you can't keep from calling to remind them to wear a hat and
such because it's chilly out. Today, we're celebrating acquaintances
near-and-far by launching the ability to send your feed to Twitter.

FeedBurner has always been about measuring, managing, and monetizing
syndicated content. Our hope is that by providing one application in
which you can direct your feed in real-time to a number of endpoints, in
this case Twitter in addition to the myriad feed readers, aggregators,
and search engines that we have always supported, and then following on
with providing analytics for measuring exactly how and where your feed
gets distributed across social media, you can make better and more
informed decisions about how to monetize your content.

Many of our publishers who have tried our Google Analytics feed item
link integration have already noticed that their most popular feed items
have been shared many times on Twitter.



We're now taking our distribution and analytics a step further by
enabling the ability to automatically publish the feed items that meet
your criteria to Twitter, using the Google URL shortener at goo.gl.

To get started, go to the Socialize service on FeedBurner's Publicize
tab and add the Twitter account to which you would like to post items
from your feed. You can take the default settings and click [Save] to
start socializing immediately, or use the options we offer to customize
exactly which feed items are sent to Twitter and how exactly you would
like them to look. The next time you post a new item to your feed it
will be sent to Twitter (as always, make sure to ping FeedBurner whenever you update your feed so this process happens as near real-time as possible).

For full details on all Socialize options, see our FeedBurner Help Center topic.




To see the results, take a look at the Twitter account in which you are
sending your updates. This blog post, for instance, as well as select
blog posts from this and the FeedBurner status blog, will appear from
now on at http://twitter.com/feedburner.
If Twitter is where you are consuming most of the latest content these
days, please follow @feedburner to receive our updates in your favorite
Twitter client.
