Automate posting to Twitter from Blog


Are you tired of manually sharing your latest blog posts on Twitter? Well, I've got some good news for you – with Zapier, you can automate the process and save yourself a ton of time!

For those of you who aren't familiar with Zapier, it's a powerful tool that allows you to connect different apps and automate repetitive tasks. Essentially, it's like having your own personal assistant for all your online needs.

In this post, I'm going to show you how to set up a Zap (Zapier's name for an automated workflow) that automatically tweets out your latest blog posts from Blogger every time you publish a new one.

First things first, you'll need to sign up for a Zapier account if you don't already have one. Once you're logged in, click on the "Make a Zap" button to get started.

The first step in creating your Zap is to choose the trigger – this is the event that will kick off the automation. In our case, we want to trigger a new Twitter post every time a new entry is added to our Blogger RSS feed. So, in the search bar, type in "RSS" and select the RSS app as the trigger. Next, choose "New Item" as the trigger event.

Now you'll need to connect your Blogger RSS feed to Zapier. Simply enter the URL of your RSS feed and test the connection to make sure everything is working properly.

RSS_PHP

I have been using Magpie Rss for a while to parse rss feeds in php.  It has worked pretty well for me.  But recently I have been working on some projects where I need to parse tags that have attributes. Some examples of tags with attributes in rss are enclosure tags for podcasts or cloud tags for rssCloud.  Magpie Rss doesn't support attributes, but only support values within begin and end tags.

I found RSS_PHP which looks to do what I want.  This library does support rss attributes and extensions.  I will pay for the commercial version if the free version continue to works as well as it is now.

rssCloud

RSSCloud is an interesting concept.  The idea is to define a standard way to push notification of changes in rss feeds.  I have installed the RSSCloud Wordpress plugin, just so I can write a service that listens to these notifications.
