Hi all,

Can anyone here build something like the following:-

I want to take in an XML feed into my site that contains lots of submitted jobs. These are job data fields such as. Job title, location, description, URL of the site/page job is listed; together with the clients twitter user name and password.

From that data feed I want to convert the job into a tweet, i.e. reduce to job title, location, some text and... more plus reduce the URL destination string and then post the job to Twitter under the customer’s account.
Ideally I want it as automated as possible

Currently there are a number of sites that provide this service for clients for nominal fees – What I need to look at is building my own somehow or alternatively buy a website that offers the service

Any thoughts anyone or experience of building anything like this?

Thanks

Rich

If you want to build your own, then take a look at the Twitter API. Also, for shortening URLs, there are a number of services (free) out there that also have APIs (e.g. tr.im).

If you're wanting to pay, then you should post in the marketplace and someone like me, who has built a Twitter API, can quote you.

Boy, is this post pushing the limits of violating the forum rules. I hope one of the other mods don't bust me or you. I was wondering myself, but you did ask for advice.
