feed your blog to twitter

Hello HelloTxt!

February 26, 2009 · 8 Comments

I’m pleased to announce that twitterfeed now also supports posting to HelloTxt, so you can send your RSS updates to the many services supported by HelloTxt in one easy go.

Here’s how it works:
feed your blog to twitter

  • when logged into twitterfeed and creating a new feed, the dropdown box at the top of the screen now contains HelloTxt as an option
  • the next thing you need to do is enter your HelloTxt API user_key. If you’re already logged into HelloTxt, you can find this at http://hellotxt.com/settings/api/twitterfeed. You’ll need to enable the application in order to see your API key.
  • click on the “get available services” link. This will populate a dropdown box with all the service types that you have set up in HelloTxt, so you need to have set up at least one service in HelloTxt
  • select the service you want to post to (Default, Friend, or Colleague), and the rest of the options are identical to a normal feed to twitter or identica

.. and that’s pretty much everything there’s to it.

As always, please note that this is functionality is brand new, so there may be issues I haven’t foreseen. If you do come across any problems, or have any suggestions to improve the twitterfeed/HelloTxt integration, please let me know at http://getsatisfaction.com/twitterfeed
