I recently wrote a small a python script to parse blog feeds and then tweet them out via Twitter. It randomly takes the first 5 RSS entries of a feed and them tweets one out. You’ll need to get an API key from Twitter and the credentials, but it’s a neat way to keep your readers updated of the various feeds you read or write. Just replace the ‘XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX’ with the various keys you get from Twitter.
