[Hidden-tech] Blogging, Merging RSS, and Twitter

[Terran Birrell]

Hi Michael,

I believe that wordpress has plugins that can pull in multiple RSS feeds.

If your client were willing to "tag" all his/her newsletter tweets with a
hashtag it should be possible to write something that would search and
display those tweets in a form that could be copy and pasted into a
newsletter. It's It's possible that even just copying and pasting from the
twitter search widget you can get from twitter would work especially if you
formatted it simply enough.

Here's a copy and paste from a less simple version of the widget (has
avatars mostly):
