I'll take a look at twitterfeed. Also, glad to have you on MyBlogLog :) I’ve been wanting to put out a ‘what I’m doing’ feed but didn’t feel like going between twitter and pounce.

I do the import into wordpress using FeedWordPress. It's a great plug-in for aggregating content into a blog. Obviously designed to work with wordpress. I doubt there is such a plug-in for Blogger which you are on. Unfortunately at the moment it imports and duplicates the title and the body copy when i point it to aggregate my twitter feed. So I've been looking for a way to strip out the duplication. When I signed up for TwitterFeed I found in the options the opportunity to just forward the title or the title and the blog. Thus if you want to forward your blogs to twitter (title only) you can use twitterfeed to insert that content into twitter. I think I jumped the gun. I've asked them if I can have an RSS feed for the output. I also recognize that I could set up another blog and strip out the extra detail in the rss. The real problem rests with lack of controls on FeedWordPress whom I contacted some time back. For the majority of us that aren't programmers it needs to be made more simple. We want to put tweets into our blogs (some will) just like delicious etc. There will only be more opportunities to incorporate data like this in the future. Haven't given you what you want. I will report on any advances. Thanks for asking Cheers Stuart Hi Karen,

I’ll fix that little test I’m doing up too."? Can you elaborate on “Thus if you want to syndicate a Tweet directly into your blog without copying repeating the title in the body it looks possible.
