Hi,

Anyone out there know of a product that can mash up a few different twitter accounts into one feed. We are working on the corporate site and the VP would like to take a few of our 'brand' twitter accounts [accounts associated with our products] and put them together with the new corporate twitter account.

Thanks in advance. DJKay

That's very convoluted and Twitter actively tries to detect whether it's seeing mashed up Tweets. You may have to create a custom Twitter feed manager to do this.

However, if I misunderstand you, and your VP only wants to see all the Twitter feeds in one dashboard, you could accomplish that with a service like individurls.com (I am not associated with them).

Hi Michael,

Its not for monitoring, I want to create a rss feed we can use on our corporate site. It would combine a few different twitter accounts we already have for our brands and the new twitter account we set up for the corporate site.

I thought maybe there was some third party product out there that did it and it was easier than making it a developer project..but I will trudge down to my IT department. Sounds like the twitter api is the thing.

If anyone has any suggestions, I am open. Thanks, Mary Kay

Yes. Just create a "Twitter List" with all the Twitter accounts you want to mash up. Then make that your feed.

Actually, I think Jill was just cutting to the chase. On Twitter you can group several Twitter feeds together in a List. I had forgotten about that (I don't use them). The Twitter List would have its own feed. That feed could be embedded on your site through any number of third-party widgets.

Okay, went and set up the list, so far so good..now what do I use to embed it? Its in this format @myname/corpwslist I want the posts in the list to come up in the area I have designated for it on the design. Not the 'list hand' as it were...

Search on the query "display tweets on your website" and evaluate the tools that people offer.

Thank you. I will pass this along to my development team. DJKay

DJKay, I was just playing with some Twitter widgets and they're simple to use. Here's the one you want:
