Posting Directly to Twitter and Facebook

Sunday, June 9, 2013

News articles on motioncity.com will now be automatically posted to Twitter and Facebook. Like some mindless robot this site will take each new post, chop it down to less that 140 characters and send it off to Twitter. It will also put a post up on my Facebook page as well.

Although there are third-party services and many ways to do this, I wanted it to be as mindless as possible. So I downloaded the Twitter module for Drupal which totally automates that process. And then I took the RSS feed from my news feed and plugged that into RSS Graffiti. It's a free program for the first 300 posts per month. 300! I'll be doing well if I can create two per month. I can't vouch for this service yet, because I'm testing it out for the first time. 

If you want to keep up with the latest goings on at Motion City, I encourage you to become a friend on Facebook or follow Motion City on Twitter
