Follow Twitter’ing by RSS

Heidi — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:31:38 +0000

Like your RSS feed and use it constantly? Well, I depend more on my RSS reader than any twitter tools. Its just works better for me.

I found a neat little site that allows you to follow a Twitter List by RSS. It is called Twitter Lists 2 RSS. And you may ask what is a twitter list? A twitter list is a way to group a bunch of tweeters together into a group. Twitter users can create their own lists or you can subscribe to a list created by another user. And even more info on a Twitter List

I haven’t create any of my own twitter lists yet, but Hummie has. So I am using Hummie’s list: http://twitter.com/HummieIsMe/digitalscrapbooking.

In the little app: Twitter Lists 2 RSS, I enter the url for the list url and receive back the RSS URL which is http://twiterlist2rss.appspot.com/HummieIsMe/lists/digitalscrapbooking/statuses.rss

I can now subscribe to this rss feed and watch the tweets of the digital scrapbookers from my rss feeder.

Sharing Categories with ACDSee Photo Manager

Heidi — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:35:01 +0000

On the ACDSee Home Blog, I describe how you can share your categories with a friend. If you have a set of categories that you would like to share at DigiScrapInfo, please email it to me and I will add it to our collection of Organizing Styles.

Sharing Categories from ACDSee Photo Manager

& if you have already organized those images (assigned categories, caption, etc), how you can share those images and the other user gets all the pre-organized information.

New fun way to follow blogs…

Heidi — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:24:36 +0000

It’s call spectives and it allows you to create a collection (i.e. list) of blogs. It then pulls in IMAGES from the blog feeds. This is a great graphical way to view your blogs. Since digital scrapbooking blogs are so visual, this could be really slick & fun for us.

I started one here with 15 feeds. Some of my favorite plus the top 10 digi blogs (at the time I did it:)

http://www.spectives.com/digital-scrapbooking

Create an account and you can start your own collection or add someone else’s collection to your tabs.

To add a blog to your collection, find the Add a feed to this collection and enter the rss feed of the blog:

When adding, it will pull in the first image for the last 3 blog posts. After you a collection of blog lists, you will just see them updating whenever someone posts.

This is a new service that was just created in October, 2009 so it quite young yet. But even its young state it worth trying out!

I am hoping over time they keep adding features..I would like to see:

An option/setting to pull all images from a post instead of the first one.
Multiple ways/options to view the collection of images:
- More on each page instead of 12 (or an option to set how many on each page)
- Cooliris functionality
- Quick link to share your collection
- Ways to sort the collection
