Send Your Blog Feeds To Twitter Using Feedburner

Posted: 16 Dec 2009 02:17 AM PST

Just a few days ago, Google announced its arrival into the rather competitive market of URL shorteners. And what better way to promote it, than by combining the popular google service-Feedburner, and twitter!

Most of the publishers earlier used twitterfeed.com for posting auto-mated RSS feeds to twitter. Over time as more and more people began to use it, I’ve found the site to be rather slow. Also many issues related to logging in to twitterfeed were also reported.

As many of the publishers already use feedburner to provide RSS feeds via e-mail, it would not only be convenient to use the all new feed to twitter service from Google, but would also give you the Google guarantee! So here’s how to do it.

Procedure:

Login at the feedburner using your Google account.
Select the feed that you want to publish to twitter.
Click on the Publicize tab.
After that, click on the Socialize option, from the services menu to the left.
Now click on the Add a Twitter Account button to add a twitter account to your feedburner account.
You will now be redirected to the twitter site. Login, if haven’t done so already. You will be asked to ‘Allow Google access?‘ Click on Allow.
Now that you have been redirected, select the twitter account you want your RSS feeds to be published to (only in case you have added multiple twitter accounts only.)
You can configure the available options, to your liking and then click on the Activate button at the bottom.

That’s it. Now whenever you post an article on your blog, the moment feedburner gets updated a tweet will be sent to your twitter account.

Advantages:

Its a google service and integrated into the feedburner panel.
Faster: Unlike twitterfeed, which checked your feed only once in the previously set custom time interval, this service tweets your post as soon as the feedburner feed is updated (which is rather quick).
The post URL’s are shortened using google’s all new URL shortener; goo.gl.

This is how your Twitter Updates will appear

Four Google.com pages on a single webpage

Posted: 15 Dec 2009 09:57 PM PST

There are many websites and web services which are interesting, useful and sometimes downright weird. Googlegooglegoooglegooogle is one such website. No that is not a typo and I am not chanting Google over and over. It is a website which opens 4 Google search pages within a single page.

About Google X 4

It seems like a fun website with 4 Google search engines being accessible for you. It needs JavaScript to be enabled on your browser.
The joke about it, is that the creator was looking to purchase a url with Googlegoogle.com. It was already taken and hence he took what was available and that was Google spelt 4 times one after another. The idea to insert four search pages in one came later.
The website is quite useful if you want to be signed in to two or three email accounts or even follow 4 content websites. Click on the green arrow at the top and insert the address of the website you want to visit. This way you can have four different website open at the same time on the same page (see image below).
One drawback is the back button. This is a problem as individual pages within the page cannot be made to go back as the whole page is refreshed and you go back to the previous URL that was on the browser.
