I'm going to put a couple of hours into trying to resurrect FriendsOfDave. I miss it too much. I want to know what Om and Matt and Bijan and Fred and Sylvia et al are posting to their blogs. So here's the deal. Are there any services that watch an RSS feed and post to a Twitter account when a new item is available? I'm going to turn FOD into a feed, and when that's done, I'd like to hook it up that way. And if none of them are still running, at least you can hook in via your RSS reader app. 

The dwcodeupdates feed is already available in RSS, here:

Back in a bit with some links. And in the meantime if you know of an RSS-to-Twitter web app, please post a pointer in a comment. Thanks!  

rsstotwitter.com is no longer running. 

Looks like TwitterFeed is still running.  

Update: Here's the feed for FriendsOfDave. 

Update: I set up TwitterFeed to publish updates from the feed to the Twitter account. It works. Nice! 

However, it's slower than the original way. It only catches 5 updates at a time, and only checks once every half-hour. But it's better than nothing. 

Update: I also set up TwitterFeed to handle dwcodeupdates. 

Update: I added rssCloud support to the FriendsOfDave feed, in case TwitterFeed supports it, or would care to support it. I would like things to update faster. This is how you can do that.
