			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In our fast-moving lives, it sometimes becomes tough to keep following feed-readers all the time.</p>
<p>Here is a quick and easy way to stay connected to <a title="RSS on Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rss" target="_blank">RSS</a> <a title="Web Feeds on Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_feed" target="_blank">feeds</a> you are interested in following, while you are <a title="Are you on twitter? NO? twitter is a social networking &amp; microblogging site" href="http://www.twitter.com" target="_blank">twitter</a>ing.</p>
<p>Here is a step by step guide to help you start following feeds on twitter.</p>
<p>We are going to achieve this by using a RSS Aggregator/RSS Mashup Tool called <a title="xFruits" href="http://www.xfruits.com" target="_blank">xFruits</a> and the <a title="twitterfeed: let your feeds twitter" href="http://www.twitterfeed.com" target="_blank">twitterfeed</a> service.</p>
<p>So, lets get started.</p>
<ol>
<li>Log on to <a title="xFruits" href="http://www.xfruits.com" target="_blank">http://www.xfruits.com/</a></li>
<li>Click on the SIGN IN button on the top right and two forms will open up for you. One to register and the other to sign in.</li>
<li>Register yourself.</li>
<li>Click on the Aggregator RSS button<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5" title="xFruits RSS Aggregator" src="http://blog.miteshashar.com/wp-content/uploads/xfruits-aggregator.gif" alt="xFruits RSS Aggregator" width="225" height="220" /></li>
<li>Customize the aggregator and add feeds you want to follow and click &#8220;Aggregate my feeds&#8221;.<br />
You may add links to OPML files as well.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-6" title="Customize your aggregator &amp; add feeds you want to follow" src="http://blog.miteshashar.com/wp-content/uploads/xfruits-aggregator-form.gif" alt="Customize your aggregator &amp; add feeds you want to follow" width="300" height="281" /></li>
<li>Bingo! Your feeds have been aggregated.<br />
<img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Mitesh/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" /><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8" title="Final xfruits aggregated feed" src="http://blog.miteshashar.com/wp-content/uploads/xfruits-final-feed.gif" alt="Final xfruits aggregated feed" width="450" height="172" /></li>
<li>The title of your feed(marked above in red) links to the aggregated feed.</li>
<li>The URL I got for my feed was <span id="racine_43136">http://xfruits.com/miteshashar/</span>?id=some_number</li>
<li>You may want to go to the Edit page(by clicking the link marked above with blue) to add/remove feeds and to change your feed&#8217;s link to <span id="racine_43136">http://xfruits.com/miteshashar/</span>myfeed/<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10" title="Edit your aggregated feed" src="http://blog.miteshashar.com/wp-content/uploads/xfruits-aggregator-edit.gif" alt="Edit your aggregated feed" width="500" height="246" /></li>
<li>So, you&#8217;re now done with setting up your aggregated feed.</li>
<li>Now, you need to log into <a title="twitterfeed: let your feeds twitter" href="http://twitterfeed.com" target="_blank">http://twitterfeed.com</a> using a OpenID. I used my Yahoo! OpenID</li>
<li>Click on the link marked in red below to create a new twitterfeed<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11" title="Create a twitterfeed" src="http://blog.miteshashar.com/wp-content/uploads/twitterfeed-create.gif" alt="Create a twitterfeed" width="500" height="229" /></li>
<li>Enter your twitter username &amp; password. (You may want to make a new twitter account for your feeds)<br />
Enter your aggregated feed&#8217;s URL(<span id="racine_43136">http://xfruits.com/miteshashar/</span>myfeed/) as the RSS feed URL.<br />
Feed in the other settings for twitterfeed and click Create to create the twitterfeed.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9" title="Setup your twitterfeed" src="http://blog.miteshashar.com/wp-content/uploads/twitterfeed-fillform.gif" alt="Setup your twitterfeed" width="500" height="282" /></li>
<li>So, there you go. You&#8217;ve completed setting up twitterfeeds with an aggregation of feeds you&#8217;d like to follow.</li>
<li>It shall take some time for the feed to be approved. It was done in 90 minutes for my feed.</li>
<li>Once that is done, the feeds will be tweeted onto the specified account. You can follow the new twitter user you&#8217;ve created to follow your feeds.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-12" title="The tweeted feed" src="http://blog.miteshashar.com/wp-content/uploads/finaltweet.gif" alt="The tweeted feed" width="500" height="271" /></li>
</ol>
<p>If you have any ideas built over this concept or any suggestions to make, please post the same as comments.</p>
<p>So, happy tweeting &amp; happy feed-following!!</p>
