There are many ways to follow a web site. The easiest is to regularly come and visit and, of course, you know RSS threads. But we can use Twitter too: a message per post update on the site.
That is the way I started using Twitter for my own YLovePhoto.com web site (for the English version as well as the French one). It’s simple: Any time an article is published on the site, it sends a message/twitt to http://www.twitter.com/ylovephoto_en (for the English version) in order to immediately inform the followers. This is quite the same as an RSS thread, but ultra-quick.
The principle is simple, but the implementation could have been a bit more complicated if I did not stumble upon an easy solution under the guise of a WordPress plug-in: TweetMe. It does the job neatly. You only have to install it, give it the coordinates (name and password) of the Twitter where to publish the updates and it generates a message containing the post title and a short link to jump straight to it.
Easy!
