Are you have having a hard time finding things to Tweet on Twitter? I’ll share two tools that I use to add content to Twitter.
The first website that I just adore is Paper.Li, I collect all of my favorite rss feeds in one place and get an email every time it gets updated. I have 10 (the limit) versions of online papers ranging from social media to online book marketing. Sometimes instead of going to a local newspaper site, I go to my Paper.li site to see information that I’m really interested in.
You can use Paper.Li to get material for your Twitter account from here. Most of the time the blog that has the article has a share button that you can share with your Twitter followers. It would be nice if Paper.li had an RSS feed for each paper but not at the time of this writing.
The second tool that I’ve found is the iftt.com website site. You can create different task by taking the programming code If This Then That and create your own tasks.
There are recipes created by other people that you can use. Personally having a programming background, I’ve would of name it objects but that’s just me. I used the one where you post quotes from an RSS on you Twitter account. From this I’ve created one that posts quotes to your Facebook page from an RSS feed.
The recipe was originally used for inspirational quotes but I changed it to parenting quotes for a client’s twitter site. I changed it by going to the source of the tweets and changing the tagged search name.
Example
Original RSS feed
http://www.quotesdaddy.com/feed/tagged/Inspirational
New RSS feed
http://www.quotesdaddy.com/feed/tagged/parenting
My user name for Iftt is amsamuels if you want to search for me.

How would your life change if you won millions of dollars?
For years I have had a recurring fantasy; winning hundreds of millions of dollars in the lottery. How would my life change? What could I do where money would not be a concern? Where would I travel that I have yet to visit? What toys would I buy? And on and on. A few days ago I had a shift in my thinking. As I drove by a billboard on the side of the freeway indicating what the jackpot is this week, it occurred to me that many people who win the lottery actually end up with numerous problems that didn't exist prior to winning.
