How to add a Twitter feed to your blog

Friday, November 6, 2009 12:58:53 PM

sidebar, twitter

If you have a Twitter account it's easy to show your latest updates in the sidebar on My Opera:

Click on "Links" or add "/links" after your My Opera username
Click on "New newsfeed"
Add a name and input the URL to your Twitter feed (http://twitter.com/username)
Make sure "Show this newsfeed in my blog sidebar." is checked and save
???
Profit!

Hmm, wondering if you have to add the whole feed link (didn't work with only twitter.com/username for me). But entering the RSS-link worked. Etc: http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/7857412.rss

RSS-link is in the right sidebox on twitter.com, or in Operas address bar :]

I have had this for months and months yet still not attained any profit. Is this because I'm unpopular, espenao?

Since when did you become unpopular, mr. popular?

On a scale of popular, I'm not even a Mr Motivator yet. Maybe one day.

Maybe I'm just not monetizing correctly.

I dunno. Espen's poll still shows 100% love.

Twitter sucks

TabTabmartel # Friday, November 13, 2009 12:03:32 AM

I like twitter because I am kept updated and recieve user tips on software that I use frequently.

Charles SchlossChas4 # Friday, November 13, 2009 1:02:30 AM

Tips, and you can follow a few news sites to get some news

Twitter is for the nosy once

You get to a point where it becomes much to much.... Twitter is for those sitting like glue to the computer....

Sorry folks, my experience with twitter is rather bad, so I do not want it...

Mette
You can block those sort of people.

My twitter is open to Opera friends only.

I definately do not spend all day at a computer..
I'm new to twitter..and recieve the updates on my Opera page thanks to Espen's tip.

I feel Twitter is much like Facebook, and I am far from comfortable with that.
Twitter is strange to me, don`t understand much of how and what and why....

TabTabmartel # Tuesday, November 17, 2009 11:17:54 AM

I used Facebook for about a month, and gave up on it. It required too much of my time, and everything I did showed up on everyone's pages.

On facebook you can set privacy settings for each application, and you can also disable publishing to the wall I think I think

TabTabmartel # Tuesday, November 17, 2009 8:03:07 PM

You can now, it's a new feature..I believe they were sued over privacy issues.
