TweetRemote, Twitter’s solution for integrating relevant Tweets in your blog, (lots of T’s there… anyway), is a new open source way to make things easier for bloggers, as it produces more desirable results.

On your blogging platform, you can pick and choose which tweets to publish and configure as to how they will look. It simply does this by only posting relevant tweets and formats them in a blog-friendly format.

TweetRemote is a new open source way to integrate Twitter with blogging platforms that aims to give bloggers more control over this process.

TweetRemote lets you decide which tweets get reposted to your blog and insures that they look good when that happens.

Now for the technical stuff; TweetRemote carries out this process by recognizing hashtags present in tweets, as such that #text, #link, and #image. It then pulls those tweets into separate RSS-style feeds and formats them accordingly, and concludes in making the blog appear in a well arranged format. Whilst, the other key ingredient in this process is the use of an RSS aggregator for e.g., FeedWordPress. Here’s how to install this feature.

Although all this sounds pretty sweet, there’s a small price to pay for this benefit – in the effort to make your blog look better, it requires making your twitter stream a little uglier. So if you wanted to send a neatly formatted URL to your blog, via twitter with TweetRemote, it would end up looking like this: #link http://tweetremote.com Cool new twitter/blog integration tool!

Even though the end result will look good on your blog, you might lose some followers on twitter; as some call Tweet stream pollution. Simply putting it, most people don’t like hashtags. So beware of this follow-on before this integration.

In the end, it should be mentioned that TweetRemote is intended only for bloggers who host their own blogs, as it requires uploading files, along with some manual configuration. Which in turn means bloggers using free services such as Wordpress and Blogger cannot use this to their advantage.

Lets hope a better future for TweetRemote, and further ease for the blogger community.
