Feed Google Alerts Into Your Twitter Account

This may not be suitable for everyone!…and it may take some time and testing to set up
Google alerts with the right keywords, so that the Google alerts feed relevant
information into your twitter account for your twitter audience.

This process will take 3 different web sites (tools).

http://twitterfeed.com/ – http://bit.ly/ – Google alerts (your account)

Open all 3 in a different window.

You obviously will need a Google and a twitter account for this.

Go to your Google account and click on Google alerts. Enter your Search terms.

I leave it on comprehensive, but you may want to change that later. After some time check
your twitter account and see if the Google alerts are what your “followers” may want to
read about. You can also try different keywords for the alerts until it fits your needs.

Click create alert.

On the next page find your alert and click edit. On the drop down menu change this from
email to feed and click save. This changes the Google alerts into a RSS feed and later it will
be feeding directly into your twitter account as “tweets”. You can also preview in the
Google reader to see what the feeds will look like. Modify your search terms if it is not
what you want.

Click on the feed. On the next page find the URL to the feed and copy the URL only
(”http://…and the feed”—everything between the 2 double quotation marks.) I hope this
is easy enough to follow.

Next, go to http://bit.ly/

We will shorten the URL of the Google feed in bit.ly, since twitter only allows 140
characters.

Sign in with your twitter username and password at bit.ly

You will have to find your API login and API key on bit.ly

Click on Post to Twitter as “yourtwittername” Change (click on change)

Click on: Add another account

Find your API Key and API login.

Next: Go to http://twitterfeed.com/

You do not need an open Id for Twitterfeed. If you have a Google account you can sign in
at Twitterfeed with your Google account.

2. Login to Twitterfeed (click on that)

This will take you to the login page. There is a drop down menu.

On the drop down menu click on Google (make sure you are signed in your Google account so
Twitterfeed will detect that). Click login. The first time it may ask you for permission.
Click continue.

Click “go to my feeds (or create a new one)”

On the next page click on “create new feed”.

On the next page enter your twitter username and password.

Click on test twitter authentication.

Enter your Google alert URL that you copied earlier at “RSS Feed Url”

Click test your RSS feed. This should check positive.

Update frequency….go easy to test it out. Maybe every 4 hours for now.

Post up to: maybe only 1 for now.

Include: I only include the title here.

Shorten link through: on the drop down menu find bit.ly

This opens up “Your login” and the “API key” from bit.ly

Now go back to bit.ly and copy and paste the “API login” and the “API key” one by one
over to Twitterfeed. (Make sure you capture the whole API key)

Click “create it”.

You are done. This will take some time for it to kick in and be fed to your twitter
account as tweets.

Modify the Google Alerts as needed later. You can view your feeds when you go to your
Twitter account’s profile.

Of course, this is also how you can feed your Site Blog into your twitter account. Every
time your blog is updated it will be fed into your twitter account.
