Twitter hack: Site RSS to Twitter

TwitterWith the craziness continuing to skyrocket, Twitter is getting more and more popular as the days go on. One terrific addition that can be added to this craze is something called microblogging, where you give your twitter account a short update about what was just posted to your blog, and Paul Stamatiou has managed to find a way to make this cake for anyone.

After tinkering with various websites it was found that using Yahoo Pipes to create that RSS feed URL will work more often than just grabbing the RSS feed URL from the site you want to microblog about.
