Say that 5 times fast! But seriously, all these technologies can get overwhelming if you don't add a little automatic magic to help you.
I've found that Twine is a valuable tool for me as I do research for clients to collect websites in a central location , make notes and have the websites accessible to me and anyone I choose to allow to join the Twine.
I do actually Twitter for food since I also write web content and handle social networking for a few clients. Twine allows me to quickly save
relevant websites and make quick comments and through a Twitterfeed connection to Twitter by using the RSS feed on Twine. I'm able to feed the Twitter accounts with content I find and save on Twine automatically. I can also choose to feed a Twitter account with any other public Twine through an RSS feed if I chose to.
Confused? It's really much more simple than it sounds.
If you go to my Twitter account - @thelifesimple you'll see several entries that start with TLS Twine.
These are automatic feeds from my Twine account for The Life Simple. When I'm looking at information on the web about sustainability, organics, etc. I save them through the simple application Twine adds to your browser (see the demo video here) and I have set up a Twitterfeed (see the demo here that explains how to use RSS feeds and Twitterfeed) to automatically update twitter.
To take it one step further, my Twitter account updates my Facebook account, so with one post to Twine, I'm feeding content to my other social networking sites. I also feed Twitter and Facebook through twitterfeed with my blogs which saves me a step - same usage of my RSS feeds.
It may not seem like a big deal, but when you have a dozen accounts your trying to keep straight for different businesses, the more automated you can be, the more time you have to actually create good content.

simply, (well, as simple as I can make this!)
