I’ve just set a couple of new features live, both of them in response to user feedback:
- you can now choose to post the title and url/link only, rather than have twitterfeed also send the beginnings of the description. By default twitterfeed will continue to work as before, and print as much of the description as fits into the limitations imposed by twitter, but by unchecking the “Include description” checkbox you can disable this behaviour. This works on a per-feed basis.
- similarly, you can choose to prefix your tweets with a string of your choice. For example, you could prefix all your twitterfeeds with “Blog:” to help distinguish them from your manual posts. However, this will obviously leave less characters available for the rest of your post (i.e. may cut off your title/description text earlier). The link will always be shown intact though, to enable click-through to the original post. Again, by default twitterfeed wil continue working as before, unless you enter any text into the “Prefix each tweet with..” textbox.

MARIO,
this is BRILLIANT!
thank you.
both these things will improve my use of Twitterfeed massively. the first one I asked for, the second one i didn’t think about asking for, but it’s EXACTLY what i need.
Now I’ll get a clean title and link, and i don’t need to email my movlogs with the prefix ‘twittervlog’
thanks for taking suggestions on and making them happen.

Brilliant. I start a lot of blog posts with a picture I’ve blogged from flickr, and I get the CSS in my RSS feed. Up till now, it’s gone into my tweet. Not any more!
Nice one.
