Just a quick note to say that zi.ma have now whitelisted twitterfeed, so I’ve added it to the list of URL shorteners available – as of now, it can be used in twitterfeed to shorten your links. If you provide your zi.ma username and password when editing or creating a feed in twitterfeed, this information is passed to the API, and any links shortened by twitterfeed will then be viewable (stats, etc.) when you log into your zi.ma account.
As usual, if you find problems, please report them at http://getsatisfaction.com/twitterfeed.

Here’s my problem.. I’d like to be able to trace specific search terms through Twitter, so that I can receive a Tweet whenever a certain “keyword” is mentioned in a tweet… So I searched for my keyword on http://www.search.twitter.com and it returns an atom feed of the form http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=keyword which I can plug into TwitterFeed. Except that this creates an endless feedback loop! So what to do? How best to be notified of keyword searches? Does twitter need a low-level version of a Tweet that isn’t searchable? Should Twitterfeed block feeds from search.twitter.com ? I’d be interested to hear your thoughts!

tomh – 2 things you could do:
- make the twitter account you’re posting to private, so it won’t be included in any searches. I use this myself for tracking, and if it’s only yourself who should/needs to see this account this is the easiest way
- if the account needs to be public, twitter search has advanced features to exclude certain twitter acounts, so you can exclude your account from the search results
Either of these should fix the feedback loop issue.

What about having the link included without shortening? I believe that’s an option I would use for one of the blogs I am about to import.
So far I see only the options to include it via shortener or switch it off completely.
