Integrating Microblogging (e.g. Twitter)
Integrating microblogging (e.g. Twitter) with your site is easy.
- Open a Twitter (or other microblogging platform, such as identi.ca) account
- Open an account with one of the free services. We’ll use Twitterfeed.com (http://twitterfeed.com) in this example
- Point the RSS you want to feature on Twitter to Twitterfeed.com and connect your Twitter account
- To feature your Twitter feeds on your site, include the appropriate widget to your templates. For example, you can display twitter status updates (http://twitter.com/goodies/widget_profile), search results (http://twitter.com/goodies/widget_search), or use one of the myriad twitter widgets (e.g. some can be found here: http://www.widgetbox.com/search?q=twitter)
