Connecting reallysimple.org to Twitter
By Dave Winer on Monday, January 10, 2011 at 8:10 PM.

I did a schematic for an earlier blog post that showed where RSS fit into the roadmap for all the various places I want my ideas and links to flow.  #

One of the endpoints is Twitter. For that, I'm relying on TwitterFeed, because I have developed a good relationship with Aditya Chadha, who is the developer of that fine service.  #

Here's how it all fits together (assuming it works). #

A picture named schema.gif #

1. I post something to my linkblog feed#

2. I pull a string on TwitterFeed telling him that the feed updated and he should check for something new. #

3. He checks, and finds something new. Shortens the link through Adjix (run by Joe Moreno, another developer I enjoy working with) and then pushed the link to Twitter. #

3a. All this happens (Murhphy-willing) within a few seconds. Maybe even less! :-) #

4. And voila, the link appears on Twitter. Look ma no hands. I did it all from the UI of my.reallysimple.org. #

This post will be the first one to flow through this new regime. Wish us (Joe, Aditya and myself) luck!  #

PS: Took about ten seconds from pulling the string to having the link show up in my Twitter feed. Joe and Aditya you guys are the best! :-) #
