An automatic way to send your blog posts to Twitter followers is to use TwitterFeed. It integrates your blog with your Twitter account, and eliminates the extra step of sending out blog post titles and URL links. As a business owner, you’re always looking for new ways to do things, smarter, faster and better. TwitterFeed might be it, if you have a blog for your business.
Blog Promotion or Add-On
The first decision you’ll have to make is whether you want to use Twitter to promote your blog, or if you want to use Twitter in addition to what you’re already doing. Cross promotion is always beneficial to business, so you should strongly consider promoting your blog posts on Twitter when you can. It will increase traffic to your blog, and then to your website. You should see more sales as result.
Beware Backlash
Many Twitter tools have a risk, because while technology simplifies your life as a business owner, there are humans on the other end who may not appreciate it as much as you do. TwitterFeed is no exception. It does a great job of sending posts automatically for you, but some people may stop following you as a result. One way to resolve this issue is to have a separate Twitter account for your TwitterFeeds. When potential followers view your tweet history on your regular business Twitter account, they won’t think “spammer.” The followers who enjoy your feeds will hang on, because they know what they’re getting.
TwitterFeed is helpful if you post regularly to your blog. It’s free to use, so it’s worth trying and measuring the results.

My own experience with Twitter Feed was not extremely positive. First I was sending feeds all the time and people did think of me as a spammer, though I wasn’t trying to be. When I tried to stop the process it never seemed to fully cease. I ended up with a large group of people that never really said much in my account. There were those faithful few, but they were few.
I use Twitterfeed and have nothing but great things to say about it. The only thing that I would advise is signing into Twitter every now and again in order to converse with others. It’s one thing to have a feed URL show up, but it’s quite another to actually engage in conversation with someone about the content.
Hi Guys
I have to agree – Twitterfeed has had some issues lately.
I relied heavily on Twitterfeed to get my content syndicated to Twitter asap and reliably.
They have had many issues with their service where my content was not getting out, either delayed, or not at all. This obviously caused a hassle and i went looking for an alternative service.
I found a new service that is great with no technical issues.

Give it a try i think you will find it a better setup than Twitterfeed.
cheers
Lot of interesting topics as well as products can be shared on the internet. It is like an open shop to everyone and you will be able to find what you really need. Just like looking for a good furniture. I was able to find my Tempur Mattresses. It is not just an ordinary thing. I encourage everyone to check it themselves.
Well…would that really work with twitterfeed? becoz it is completely an automated stuff…which keeps tweeting the feeds of the choosen blogs..I dont think people would really trust in the accounts that use automated tweets..a manual tweet would be a better option…even a simple Hie is worth 100 twitter feeds…what do you say Daphne?
