Is anybody updating their Twitter feed automatically with Typo?

I’ve seen a few sites that will pose as intermediaries, backed on
trackback pings but I’m not real keen on handing them my password.
I’d probably be willing to put it in my typo config file though.

So, before I start hacking I thought I’d see if somebody’s done it
already.

Thanks,

I just use the JavaScript/HTML provided by Twitter. It produces plain
HTML so it integrates fairly well into the layout. And of course there’s
no need for a password, as your data is public anyway.

Yeah, I use that too, but what I want is the opposite of that. I
want to update my Twitter feed when I post with Typo. e.g.

“Bill just blogged about TITLE_GOES_HERE http://tinyurl.com/
foo_bar_baz”

Check the Twitter API, if it uses some basic XMLRPC, it will be a piece of cake to do, just hack the ping functions to have it send a message to twitter when posting. Otherwise, I'm using twittfeed service for this

Oh, and spec lamentably fail on trunk for everything related to AWS,
it’s due to the new implementation for rails 2.2. It’s functionnal,
but I need to fix the remaining tests.

I wrote a little plugin that automates the Tweet process when a new blog
post is created. I’ve been using it for my blog. It’s not public yet,
but if you’re interested, I can toss it onto github and you can use
it/hack it to fit your needs.

I need to either test yours for you or write my own, so mark me down
as interested! :slight_smile:

Thanks,

Bill,

I’m sure you thought this would never happen, but here it is. It’s
somewhat limited (in terms of functionality, documentation, and tests)
but it gets the job done.

Now that I have this on github, I’ll be maintaining it often to make
sure it can take full advantage of what the Twitter API offers.

In the meantime, here it is:

Please let me know if you have any questions. I know the readme isn’t as
informative as it could be.
