APP: TwitBlend - Custom Tweets List

Create a Custom List of Tweets with TwitBlend

Today’s post comes from Pongrob Saisuwan of TwitBlend. He’s showing us how to use the service. You can follow Pongrob at @twitblend.

There’s so many auto-generated list of tweets out there but the results are mostly spam. So why not make it ourselves?
With a service called TwitBlend you can easily create your own “collection of tweets” or “tweet list” yourself and it’s very easy to use!
This is what I got from spending two minutes on TwitBlend, The Foursquare Cling

TwitBlend helps you search for tweets and arrange, color, share and put it on your website.

How can I make one?

  1. Click on “Create new blend” on top-right menu
    Create new Blend icon
  2. Enter your Twitter’s account information and click “Allow” to login (TwitBlend uses Twitter’s API so you don’t need to sign up separately.)

  3. This is “New Blend” page. You can use menu on left-side to search for your tweets, you can see your tweets from your “Home” timeline, “@ mentions”, “Sent by you” and your favourites. You can also find tweets from your own list.

  4. There’s a search tab for you to search tweets from a keyword or username.

    Below is the search dialog:

  5. After you search for tweets you will see something like this:
    twitblend new blend
  6. You can drag and drop tweets from the right side to the dropbox on the left side, arrange and color it with “color button” on the bottom of each tweet.
  7. After you are happy with this list you can click “Save…” at the bottom.
  8. In this save dialog you can enter the title and tweet it to share it with your friends.

  9. Now that you have created your own blend, you can share it with your friends or put it on your website using TwitBlend’s widget. Below is an example of TwitBlend widget on my Wordpress blog.
