Dirty Greek - Post Twitter Tweets To Other Services With PHP

I toy around with the whole Biblical thing, just as amazing characters. What I've read, in terms of the Bible and shit, is that Satan's this super-charming guy who'll come off sweet as sugar, and that if you run into him, he'll try and fool you into thinking he's God. From all of that, wouldn't that probably make God the devil, if he's such a good liar? I can't think of any really horrendous shit that's been caused by the character Satan, but man, God's got quite a few smitings under his belt.

Dirty Greek - Post Twitter Tweets To Other Services With PHP

Coding : Post Twitter Tweets To Other Services With PHP

Download The Script Here, and change to .php.

I developed this script by using a few free scripts out there for RSS parsing, combined with Ping.fm. Ping.fm lets you post to multiple services at once (Twitter, Myspace, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Pownce, to name a few). It allows you a posting email, and anything sent to that email address is then posted to your services.

TO START:
1) Sign up for http://www.ping.fm and add the services you'd like. The current invitation code is pingofpings.
2) Set $yourPingfmEmail
3) Set $yourRSSFeed
4) Set $usernameToRemove (optional)
5) Create a blank text file called twitterlog.txt (make it readable/writable by the script) in the same directory as this script, or put it somewhere else and direct the script to it
6) Get patRSS from here, and place it in the appropriate location, and change the include to match
7) Set up a cron job on your webserver (if possible) to check your feed as often as you like, or run manually

You could, really, use this to post any RSS feed to ping.fm, but what I'm using it for is to post my Tweets, from my Twitter RSS, to my other services. That way,I only have to post to Twitter.
