For example, if you search for “Scott Quarterman” you will now see a link to my profile page come up at the bottom of the search results page.

Why is this important you ask?

Well, it’s another opportunity to get a link back to your website, and it allows you post any personal information about yourself that you would like others to see. It also includes links back to other profiles you may have on social networking sites such as Linked In, Facebook and more.

How do you  get your own Google Profile?

It’s very simple and quick. Simply, go to the Google Profile page and follow the instructions. Within a few minutes you’ll have your own Google Profile to show the world when they “Google” your name.

There is also a minor attempt by Google to make this feature “social” by allowing you to share certain parts of your profile with people you know. Frankly, I’m not sure why anyone would want this feature.

I see this as one way to control what personal information the world sees about you when you are “Googled”.

Twitter does not have an interface for feeding blogs directly into their site so we have to use a third-party tool like FriendFeed. FriendFeed is a service that allows you to consolidate feeds into one site that you can share with friends and family. In this case we are going to use FriendFeed to get our blog posts feeding into Twitter. Let’s get started…

1) Go to FriendFeed and create an account (it’s free).

2) Click on the Link Your Accounts link at the top.

3) Click the Blog link under the Blogging section.

4) Enter your blog feed URL into the Blog URL field.

5) Click the Import Blog button. That will start importing your blog into FriendFeed.

6) Click the Tools link at the top of the page.

7) Click the Post to Twitter link under the Friend Feed section.

Click the “Post my FriendFeed entries on Twitter” checkbox.

9) Enter your Twitter username and password and click the Login button.

10) Under the Feed Publishing section, check the “Post my FriendFeed entries on Twitter as…” checkbox and the “Link to source site instead of FriendFeed conversation” checkbox (this will link your posts to your blog and not FriendFeed.)

Now the posts from your blog will be feeding into Twitter. Everytime you post an entry into your blog it will show up in Twitter.

There are many other things that you can do with FriendFeed, including using their Facebook application to feed your blog posts into Facebook, but this seems to be the easiest way to get blog posts into Twitter. Enjoy.
