Testing out a Twitter retweet using Favorites. First, import your Twitter Favorites into FriendFeed as an RSS/blog feed, using a URL like http://twitter.com/favorit.... Next, tell FriendFeed to post your imported entries to Twitter via http://friendfeed.com/setting.... That's it.
Once done, in Twitter all you have to do is Favorite something (the star that no one uses). This will get posted in your Favorites RSS feed which will be imported into FriendFeed. Then, FriendFeed will post this to Twitter and will look something like: lancearmstrong: @taylorphinner breaks the US record in the "kilo" going 1:01. As he says, "slayed it".

Hootsuite will allow you to import RSS in a similar manner and will poll X number of updates per hour (where you can specify the number X) in addition to allowing you to pre-pend additional notational text in front of the tweet (so you can add "RT" for example)

I recently started to play with my favourite Twitter feed using Yahoo Pipes with the intention of feeding it back to my Twitter account. I used Pipes to add the suffix '#fav', but didn't take it any further.

Still having a little problem with this. How do I create the RSS feed itself?
- Mike Shields
just an FYI @Pat Hawks: you can't use twitterfeed to post back to twitter from your twitter favorites feed.. "Twitter does not allow posting of twitter feeds back to twitter..." is the error message provided by twitterfeed - its too bad because twitterfeed gives you the option to prepend RT: if you could get it to work.. I suppose you could pipe the feed then use twitterfeed to circumvent the restriction

kool. i am gonna set this up for myself. thanks!

I set this up but the retweet didn't happen the way I wanted it so I created a pipe at yahoo pipes to help http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes... put your username in the field, hit "run pipe" then click the "get as rss" link and use the address it takes you to as a service here.. then reshare that service to twitter.. It will prepend the retweeted item with RT: @ so that the original author is cited as normal and the RT: label is present.
- Bill Rawlinson
Not seeing how to reshare to Twitter automatically... :(

Now there’s a new Twitter (Twitter) partnership launching tonight. This one is between Twitter and LinkedIn (LinkedIn), the popular business social network. Starting tonight and tomorrow morning, users of both services can sync their status updates. Yes, you can tweet from Twitter and it will update your LinkedIn, and vice versa.

I just hope none of my contacts send ALL their tweets into linkedin, just the work related ones with #in
- Mitchell McKenna
i am using #in selective option but i have noticed that some users are displaying all their tweets in their linkedin status update

@scobleizer I wonder if the Windows 7 team #win7 would post how they did it. I like the features such as speeding up and slowing down the feed. Also the fact it more then just a Twitter display you can select which social network site you want to look at.
- Kevin Tunis
I like the anonymizer they have on it =P 'from Twitter User'... They know which user it is!
- travispuk
Would be very nice to see how they did it.
