Feeding Blog Posts to Twitter via Hootsuite

Blogspot doesn't come with a lot of in-built or easy-to-add plugins like WordPress does. So, awhile ago I thought this was a quick-n-dirty way to feed Blogspot posts to Twitter.

Then, Hootsuite came up with the most automagical way to do it. Way quicker-n-dirtier. 




 Easy peasy - Sign up for a Hootsuite account, hammer in your RSS feed URL and off you go. (It's not necessary to switch to Hootsuite as your main Twitter app if you're already used to something else. )

But first - find out what your RSS feed address is, if you haven't already.
• In most cases, just add /feed after your URL and it should work.
• If you run a Blogspot blog, add /feed/posts/default or /feed/posts/default/?alt=rss after your Blogspot.com URL. They both work, so pick one. More on this here.
