I was getting a bit tired of manually updating my Twitter with what I was listening to on iTunes or my iPod and scrobbling to last.fm via TwittyTunes, so I wondered if there was some way around this!

After quite a while searching the net for some kind of plugin, I couldn’t really find anything, so I decided to utilise Twitterfeed to take the automation side of Twitting my recently plays!

So after logging into Twitterfeed with my OpenID I was off, first thing was to create a new feed and then fill in all the required info such as Twitter name etc and then to enter the rss feed I wanted to Twit.

Now it was a case of finding the feed I wanted to use, so I opened another browser tab to last.fm and found the feed for my recent played tracks and copied the URL, then entered it into the option on Twitterfeed, I opted for an hourly update and for five updates each time.

Once you have clicked Update you will be taken to your feeds page, it will take a little while before your feed is checked and goes live, but if everything is ok, you should see your scrobbles appearing on your Twitter, you can see what they look like on my Twitter.

In theory you should be able to do this with other last.fm feeds such as your recently loved tracks for example
