The MyBlogLog Blog: I got a fever, and the only prescription is more Twitter!

I loves me some Twitter. I didn't always, though. I thought it was obnoxious, all these people at SXSW twittering to one another. What's that all about?!? And then everything changed one day when I walked out of Circuit City seething about their nonexistent customer service and realized that I could have vented right then and there, if only I had signed up for Twitter. Since then, it's become a constant companion, causing my phone to buzz with tales of Todd's brush with the law, Tom's rapidly cycling mood swings and Beach's non-stop playlist update.

As of today, your Twitter can now be broadcast on MyBlogLog too. If you have a Twitter account, just go to your MyBlogLog profile page, click the link under your screen name and you can automatically display your latest Twitter post on your MyBlogLog profile page. If the Twitter guys add third-party authentication we have a couple of other cool ideas.

So that it's for now. Go grab a Twitter account and then hook it up to your MyBlogLog profile, cuz MyBlogLog + Twitter = Crazy Delicious!

Comments

Once more from the top, please :

1. "just go to your profile page",

2. "click the link under your screen name"

Ok, I'm at my Twitter profile, I'm looking at my screen name, BUT, I see no clickable link.

Please have mercy on an old guy and explain a little slower! :-)

Thanks for the mashup, though!

I'm enjoying Jaiku. I've also built a WordPress plugin to integrate it into your blog.

Vincent, you should see the link (add twitter) on your "profile" page. The font is small but it is right below you name. :)

How about showing co-author twitters on the community pages? ;)

I'm also not seeing the link. Maybe this feature isn't rolled out to everyone yet?

Same here dont know what to do.

Incidentally I put my mybloglog URL in twitter's homepage section, and my twitter URL in mybloglog's homepage section a couple days ago.

Idea is awesome.

I was also having a difficult time finding the link but it was hiding in plain sight.

Just go to your normal MyBlogLog page that shows your blogs, communities, etc. Look at your Avatar, then look right below it. Enter your Twitter screen name and you're done.

There's also an interesting hack in the twitter help file that will allow your website to display as many of your past tweets as you like. The authour of the hack has his last 10 tweets posted.

Glad this is going over so well. I didn't realize Twitter was so popular. I mean, I love it, but I'm weird. I guess you all are weird too ;)
