Auto Tweet

Archive for the ‘Social Oomph’ Category

Tweeting just got a whole lot easier with the new RSS to Blog feature from social oomph and others.

Now it is easy to
- Make blog posts from any RSS feed
- Tweet those posts to Twitter

Step 1 - Make Blog Posts from any RSS Feed

All of this is done automatically with the professional paid version of social oomph.

“you can now grab one or more (in fact as many as you like) RSS feeds and automatically create blog post entries from the RSS feed entries.”

“it is now possible to populate your blog with hand-crafted scheduled blog posts, combined with posts that are created from external RSS feeds”

“One Blog Feed can feed as many blogs and social networking accounts as you want, and you can feed as many Blog Feeds into one blog and/or social networking account as you want.”

“You access it by:

- Adding your blog to your SocialOomph account.
- Adding a Blog Feed account, and selecting your blog (and other accounts) as the target for the Blog Feed.”

However, if you want a free way to automate your blog with content from RSS feeds, we suggest the word press Feed Word Press plugin. We currently use this plugin on a few of our websites to augment our regular posts.

Step 2 – Send Your Blog Posts To Twitter

Once you have a blog with your own RSS feed, you can then send that feed to your twitter profile with the free twitter feed service. Twitter feed is also a great way to populate your twitter profile with extra tweets from any RSS feed like google news and any other website with an RSS feed.

Another free word press plugin is the free twitter tools plugin. However, this plugin will only send manually written blog posts to twitter. It will not send the posts to twitter that were created in step 1 above. But you can use it for a number of other things like creating blog posts from twitter profile tweets on a per post basis on with daily of weekly recaps. You can also use it to tweet from your wordpress sidebar.

Using the above two simple steps you can now easily “Set up an auto blog and auto tweet system”.
Now, wasn’t that fun!

Oom Pah Pah it is not!

Tweet Later was an easy name to remember. But alas, it is now Social Ooomph! Egads, that name is even worse than twitter! But, the service is good and so is the price – FREE.

Yah yah, the basic service is free – but it works for me, for my needs. Here is what you can do for free.

Send An Automatic Welcome To New Followers - This can be the most crucial part of your follower contact. They are online and interested in twitter now, not the next day when you happen to login and notice you have a new follower. Besides, how do you currently track who is new!

Schedule tweets – If you have a rush of adrenaline and have lots of tweets you want to do, you can space them a part. This makes you look like you are awake and functioning when you are actually passed out on the couch or just enjoying the daylight.

Autofollow – You will automatically follow anyone who follwes you. Not only is it a common coutesy to follow anyone who follows you, you are likely to be dropped if you do not follow them.

Autounfollow – You will automatically unfollow anyone that drops you. No one gets a free ride with you. You cannot afford one way follows.

View Mentions and Retweets – A quick recap of who has mentioned or retweeted you. Find out which people respond to your tweets and focus on them.

Track keywords on Twitter – This is essentially your own search engine. One that works for automatically. You’ll get an email showing you who has used whatever keyword you are interest in.

URL shortening and Tracking – Here is a great way to see how many people actually click on the links in your post. Do you currently know that now?

Save and reuse drafts – This works great for common text and url’s you use. Of course you can also list them in a sparate notepad file too (do whatever works best for you).

Vet new followers – Here is a common cause/term of confusion. This process lets you interupt Autofollow & Autounfollow so you can weed out unwanted and irrelevant people.

Cleanup your Inbox – This automatically removes direct messages older than 7 or 30 days. A nice little time saver.

Personal tweet engine – You can schedule added tweets that do not go into your twitter profile.

Mutiple Twitter Profiles – Now you can manage mutiple twitter profile from one Social Oomph account for free.

Now some of you people are in a real twitter twap and need more tools than the casual twitter does. Not so surprisingly, the social oomphers have more tools and twicks  for you – for a small additional monetary sum (money) you can get the professional version.
