		<description>Thx Lissa. I am now using Friendfeed instead of this method. If I get around to it I may record a video of how to do this.</description>

		<description>Mike, great post!  Thanks for sharing!  I was wanting to learn how to set this up for myself and then eventually implement for my clients.  Great information!</description>

		<description>So finally i got back to twitterfeed about 4 a.m. this morning.  To my mind it never worked.  However, after carefully reading, and understanding what i was looking at this time, it only posts new content it finds once every [time period]  But it only does it once.  This is nearly useless for a blogger that already manually bookmarks, pings, and miniblogs everywhere else.

I thought the thing tweeted my top 3 or however many, blogs every hour.

Imagine my frustration at seeing an old blog post from 4 months ago as my last twitterfeed.

To me the program is useless.  I have twirl up anyway and i do a much better miniblog on twitter than twitterfeed does.  They should rethink their product.

As for people feeding in reuters, that&#039;s just ... crazy, they&#039;ll just lose followers that way.

		<description>Mike,

Love the blog post.

Our implementation is different :)  Same thought process though.

You are using &#039;stars&#039; and I am using &#039;shared items&#039; within @GoogleReader.  I prefix all my tweets in TwitterFeed using Shared by Dan Ross so that people know (1) It isn&#039;t my work (2) It probably will take them to another website and (3) I find this article of value so I am sharing it with them. The key thing for me is ADDING VALUE to others and getting to stick my head in this river of information referred to as the &#039;Twitterverse&#039; by Joel Comm (@JoelComm).

Twitter is a frictionless opportunity for people &amp; businesses to add massive amounts of value to people. I am amazed that more people don&#039;t realize the opportunity that is before them. Some can give away content, some can link to neat content, some can use it to highlight their business/interests, others for conversations, etc.  Not everyone is using it for the same purpose but I think it boils down to adding value to others.  

While I am using TwitterFeed I do so hesitantly because, as you pointed out &quot;If you have seen tweets stating ”Get 10,000 followers now” or “Twitter Traffic Machine” this post details some of their secret sauce.&quot; &lt;--I don&#039;t like being associated with anyone REMOTELY interested in spamming / polluting the stream but it is a viable method of sharing information for those working in a Fortune 500 environment, where corporate firewalls block most forms of social engagement altogether except LinkedIn.

Anyway, keep up the great work!  I enjoy the posts
