Use FeedBurner to sync feeds to Twitter

According to Google AdSense for feeds, FeedBurner has released a new feature that automatically synchronizes the user's feed content to Twitter and uses Google's own web site to shorten service GOO.GL processing URLs.

Google launched a shortened web site service goo.gl and bit.ly or TinyURL and other web site shortening services, the current GOO.GL only in the new version of Google Toolbar and FeedBurner role. Google says the service can be more stable, secure and fast.

Google says its URL shortening service is the best, there are three reasons: 1, Stability: Google's multiple Data center infrastructure to provide users with good uptime and reliable services; 2, Security: In the user's network search, the shortened URL can be automatically checked, so that the malicious Web site detection, and warn the user; 3. Speed: Google says it ensures that the Web site shortens service speeds and will continue to speed up.

The FeedBurner of the Web site currently supports only GOO.GL and does not provide Third-party Web site shortening services.

The way to use the FeedBurner sync feed to Twitter is to login to FeedBurner, add a Twitter account in the publicize-socialize midpoint "add a", and use the default setting point " Save "can be completed. As shown in the following figure.

In the user's blog, it is best to add an automatic ping FeedBurner xmlrpc address http://ping.feedburner.com, which can achieve near real-time synchronization speed.

Google's launch of the service was a major blow to an earlier twitterfeed of similar services, and FeedBurner, in terms of speed, function and stability, The same feed from FeedBurner sync to Twitter takes about 10 minutes, while Twitterfeed takes 40 minutes, a full half hour. From the details, twitterfeed message did not leave the RT space, so that others can not be RT, in terms of stability, twitterfeed used to appear often several hours of failure, this probably will not appear on the FeedBurner, The next few days are expected to be the days of twitterfeed users fleeing.

However, the feedburner of this synchronous Twitter service also has some drawbacks, so that it can not completely replace the twitterfeed function, for example, shorten the Web site can not be customized, only use Google's shortened web site, if the day Google's shortened web site was sealed can be a cup. There is a small bug in the function, that is, for Google Reader's share or feed, can not get summary, only sync headers, but can be used in my previous program to replace. Another disadvantage is not to support synchronization to ping.fm and Hellotxt services, this is not as perfect as twitterfeed.

For domestic micro-blogging, this provides a synchronization service, through FeedBurner This service, can be simple and convenient to synchronize the domestic support RSS Feed micro-blog to Twitter.
