How to find your Twitter RSS and apply to TwitterFeed
Answer: You can’t
Well, it’s easy to find your Twitter RSS. You simply log out of your account and scroll down to the bottom of your profile page like so:
God knows why you have to log out but it seems like it was an oversight when Twitter upgraded to their new layout. However, when you try to feed this Twitter RSS feed into an application like Twitter Feed you get this rather helpful message:
I give up. If anyone knows the solution please let me know.
Why would I want to do this? Let’s say I wanted all my team’s tweets to hoover up into one uber Twitter page. It just looks like Twitter have prevented this aggregation for some unknown reason.
News Rewired: Building Online Communities with Anthony Thornton IPC
Back in December 2010 I attended the News Rewired event at Microsoft HQ in Victoria. I was quite impressed by a presentation delivered by Anthony Thornton from IPC so here it is in all it’s glory.
Some very sensible points about building up a community from scratch – namely, you’ve got to put the time in!
Celebrity Twitter Latest: Jeff Brazier and Fearne Cotton
I’m pretty impressed by this – got tweets back from Jeff Brazier and Fearne Cotton both in the same day. Soon my plan for world celebrity domination will be complete. MWAA HA HA HA HA HA!
PS: Best of luck to Jeff who’s currently battling it out on Dancing On Ice. We think he’s the best and that’s not just because he writes a regular Jeff Brazier column for MSN Entertainment!
Magnum Good as Gold Campaign
So there I was, sat at my desk ready to start the day. Five minutes later I’m starring in a glitzy heist movie with Benicio Del Toro and a load of lollipops. Typical Wednesday.

Revamping Myspace
At MSN we’re currently making a real push to reach out to all our visitors on their own social networks. It’s not rocket science, but it’s been a great learning experience as we experiment with what sort of features users of, let’s say Myspace, might be interested in.
Anyway, it’s been yonks since I’ve visited my own Myspace page so I’ve only just noticed the Myspace 2.0 upgrade. This might sound ultra geeky but I really like the way they take you through the whole upgrade process by introducing you to all the new tools. Sounds simple but it’s these kind of usability issues that always get overlooked when it comes to developing online products. Love it. Also the way it automatically removes hacked code to integrate with its new themes is neat.

Using IE8 Web Accelerator to speed up social networking
Here’s a neat trick. I’ve been trying to get my head around trying to seed out content to all my social network groups in the fastest and easiest way possible and I think I’ve cracked it. Rather than populating the top of my browser with loads of Digg or Twitter icons, I’m using IE 8′s new web accelerator function combined with the Shareaholic service. The rest is easy. Simply:
- Download the IE Accelerator add-on from Shareaholic website here
- Install it and make sure you make it the default add-on for social networking tasks
- Then simply navigate to a piece of online content, right click on the headline. You should see this:

If you click on the Shareaholic icon you will be taken to a page of options like this:

Simply select the service you want, input your username and password for each account (you’ll only need to do this once) and BINGO your content will be ready to publish on that network.
As long as you have all your social network account details at hand, it’s pretty easy to set this all up. With the combined power of Accelerator and Shareaholic I would say that what would have normally taken me an hour, now takes me about 15 minutes. Brilliant stuff.
All I need to do now is read the new Trust Agents book so I can figure out how to do all of this without spamming anyone! More on that later.
Good luck.
