Site RSS to Twitter

Twitter hack: Site RSS to Twitter - Download Squad
From Paul Stamatiou:
The world has gone twitter. A new feature is integrating incoming RSS feeds to create a river of news. From Paul Stamatiou comes some useful code.
With the 2 PHP scripts available at Paul’s site, all you need to do is find a good RSS feed URL, a web host that has PHP and curl support and you’re all set. 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. Your results will be an update to a twitter account that can contain the full title of the site’s post and then a tinyurl that links to that post. Just a little something more to help spread the word about either blogs you are interested in or your own personal blog.
