Feeding my forum to Twitter

jwhofer
I have a Nabble forum.  Sioux Falls Free Stuff.

I want to feed the content of the Nabble forum to my Twitter account in real time

I know I can go to new posts in the forum, click Tweet, and post them to Twitter that way.  But I don't want to have to manually Tweet each new post on the Nabble forum.

Is there a way to simply feed new posts on the Nabble forum directly to Twitter?

Thanks a lot for your time.

In case it helps anyone else, here's how I managed to feed my Nabble forum's content in real time to Twitter.

1.  I went to the bottom left of my Nabble forum.  I clicked "Feeds" next to the orange icon.

2.  I clicked "Topic only" and the document tree is displayed (oddly i had to click a few times to get the tree).

3.  On the 7th line of the tree, I found my Nabble forum's feed url.  Mine was "http://sioux-falls-free-stuff.2316505.n4.nabble.com/Sioux-Falls-Free-Stuff-ft4255076.xml"  i  copied the url.

4.  I signed up for "Twitterfeed," which feeds blog's/forum's/website's content to an existing Twitter account.

5.  In Twitterfeed, it asked me for my "blog's" feed url.  I pasted the url I copied from Step 3.

6.  My Nabble forum now feeds in real time (updated every 30-min) to my Twitter page.
