So for awhile now some readers have asked me to set up an automated Twitter feed to tweet out my new posts, I guess because the RSS feed age sort of died off with Google Reader. Since I aim to please, I’ve finally figured out how to do so. (I think.) It’s here. I set up that Twitter awhile back, as an editor I was talking to about a book idea insisted I grab it. (The book conversation was like literally three or four emails long and went absolutely nowhere, so it wasn’t a big deal.)
It’ll just be an automated feed. I don’t tweet merely because I’m no good at it and Twitter’s not for me. Despite all my blather, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Twittering, it’s just uniquely suited to bring out the worst in me.
I hope there is no threat implied to the RSS. Twitter is a nightmare for obsessive completists.
Of course not.
For Google reader lovers who haven’t found a satisfying solution and are willing to pay $25/year, I would recommend Newsblur. It is more fully featured than reader (mark read until here being a favorite option of mine). Obviously, since it’s not free, it can’t be a solution for everyone, but I have found it to be a good value.
Thanks!
Please write a book.
