Allowing multiple Twitter users to post to one Twitter account

Here’s neat trick which allows you to have several contributors posting into a single Twitter account without giving away the main accounts username and password.

I’ve managed to set this up on the BNILondon account at http://twitter.com/bnilondon

Here’s how to do it:-

1. Setup your main account
2. Get the usernames of all Twitter users you wish to post
3. Think of a Hashtag to use, we chose #bnilondon
4. go to Twitter search and setup a search for your hash tag, plus specify each username in the “from user” box e.g. user1 OR user2 etc
5. Check the search results ( you may need to post a test message)
6. Grab the RSS feed from the link on the results page

Now

7. Go to www.twitterfeed.com and create an account
8. Create a new feed, enter your target account username and password
9. Specify the feed URL and turn links OFF
10. Set to 30 minute updates and save

Now all you do is post a tweet from an authorised account (one that was specified in the “from user” part of the search) and iwth the hastag you chose and voila, your posts are placed into the target account.

Tada!
