Could it be time to say goodbye to Twitterfeed? HootSuite can now send an automatic ‘New Blog Post’ tweet, with your blogs link attached. Add as many RSS feeds as you like, and send ‘em out over multiple Twitter profiles at once. Each tweet from your RSS feed gets its own ow.ly URL, so you can track click-throughs on every new blog post you tweet about. Best part of all? It’s super simple use. How cool is that?
Here’s a quick YouTube video on using HootSuite as your RSS feed:
Thanks to your excellent feedback, the team at HootSuite’s been busy. We’ve added features and improvements to your favourite one-stop twitter tool.
New Features:
Tweet monetization thanks to Google AdSense integration with Ow.ly. If you have a Google AdSense account, you can add your own ads to any ow.ly-shortened links you send out.
Ability to tweet RSS feeds. Each RSS tweet gets its own ow.ly URL, so you can track clickthroughs on every new blog post.
Our very own bookmarklet, Hootlet! Allows you to instantly tweet the URL of any page you’re on without visiting HootSuite.com.
Sync your avatar with Twitter.com. Users can instantly update their Twitter profile image at HootSuite if it’s changed at Twitter, without re-uploading the image.
Improvements:
Increased DM characters to 280, to reflect the latest Twitter change
Re-organized the Settings page, so it’s now grouped by tab
Added ‘Confirm Email’ field in sign-up (to eliminate email typos)
Added an “auto initials” function when creating new tweets -BK
