I know it seems that everywhere you turn someone is talking about Twitter. For those who have adopted Twitter as a new way of marketing they are embracing the information, while I know there are still others that just feel Twitter is for those who have too much time on their hands.

The truth is there are tools that you can use with Twitter that help decrease the amount of hands-on time you spend on Twitter, but still get your message out to those are interested. This week we are going to focus on TwitterFeed and I will show you how you can use it to automatically feed your blog post directly into Twitter and promote your posts to your followers. Are you using Twitter as a method of marketing your products and services? If so, you will want to know about TwitterFeed. TwitterFeed is a free service that is in beta right now. It automatically feeds your blog posts directly into your Twitter account, so that your followers can read the blog posts that are of interest to them.

Personally, it's been a great treasure since I write in over four blogs and don't have the time to always post my blog post into my Twitter account. Try it out, I think you'll see why I love using TwitterFeed so much.

Your turn: What do you think of TwitterFeed and what other tools do you use with Twitter that make you more productive?

Laura…just ran across your blog and have enjoyed reading thus far. Like you, I’m a Twitter neophyte, but am quickly learning how to best manage all the different tweets, direct responses, etc. One tactic that I used early on (before I was fully convinced that Twitter was a good use of time) was subscribing to specific search results in Twitter and tying those Searches to an RSS feed. Seems ancient, I know, but it allowed me to very easily track conversations that were happening.

My first foray using an RSS actually led to a nice PR hit…which actually led to a post on our blog. http://bit.ly/cLmPN

Look forward to more of your posts.
