Integration of Blogger and Twitter

Twitter, being one of the fastest growing social networking and micro-blogging services available today, has the capability of being linked to blog sites through the entries that are made on each tweet. The accompanying video discusses the ability that Twitter has to allow linking of sites through the use of tweets, which are the 140 characters or less that are referred to as tweets. A blog can also be linked to Twitter to allow followers of a blog to view the recent tweets that are being followed. The url of the site is added to the tweet as part of the text of the tweet. If the url is too large, it can be reduced in size to allow the objective to be completed by the use of a site such as TinyURL which reduces the size of a link to a manageable but unique size for the site url. The ability to link blogs and twitter is a very important aspect in business which allows the collaboration between sites.

  1. When my blog was on LiveJournal, there was a way to make my blog post subject headings post automatically on Twitter. How do I do that with Blogger? I want my Blogger headings to post on Twitter, not the other way around.
