Twitter Indexed in Google News Alerts, Technorati
Mitch Joel reports that Twitter micro blogs are appearing in Google News Alerts. Meanwhile, Technorati is doing the same for some Twitter blogs. Mine is there, others are not. I was also able to claim my Twitter blog. Now, I want to integrate it into my Feedburner feed. If someone has a thought on the latter, please let me know in comments.
Isn't this a matter of splicing two feeds into one, Steve?
If so then just use any feed merging tool to combine your feeds into one feed. Then go to FeedBurner and insert this new feed into the properties of your existing FeedBurner feed.
Good tools for this purpose are mySyndicaat, Feed Digest, Feed Blendr and of course Yahoo! Pipes.

Please don't merge your twitter feed into your main feed.
That will lead to lots of unsubscribes since it won't be daily aggregations, it'll be a single entry for each twitter.
It would be nice if Yahoo Pipes offered options for aggregating.

Engtech, I would give people options - with or without.

It could be great to create a new extra feed aggregating your blog posts & your twitter messages.
To do so you could use profilactic.com and ass any other extra feed (flickr, del.icio.us, etc.)

I was just searching yesterday in Feedburner this merging option. :)

Twitter: A technology in search of a market. Time will tell ...
Moblogging is one thing; Twitter is quite another. How often do people really need to know where you are and what you're doing? And for the one or two that might, there's a novel way of dealing with this: Call them!! (or SMS them).

Here's my idea. Do it like the del.icio.us posting. It could just be a digest of daily tweets. Now that would be cool!

David, I look at Twitter more as group blogging than here's what my cat did today. Some of the conversations are really cool.
Marc, I like idea. Now I just need a way to implement it and automate it.
