Carter Tomorrow Fund | linking Wells Fargo to twitter

When i was young i created the Carter Tomorrow Fund and im happy to say its now back!

But i wanted to take it a step further so i found this way cool site http://tarpipe.com/
Tarpipe lets you fire off a bunch of stuff by connecting pipes in workflows. So i make a filter in gmail to forward to my Wells Fargo alerts to the tarpipe workflow email.
Tarpipe workflow to automate banking updates in twitter
and now i get these nice alerts on my twitter http://twitter.com/CarterCole/status/3623058706 everytime i overdraft or my account drops below $20 so all my social networks can know and my friends can donate to keep me from paying overdraft fees
Someone even donated some! so help out and automate your banking alerts on twitter and give some to the fund

how to link your hulu history to twitter

i wanted a way to tweet my hulu activity and i came across this way i could post to twitter from a rss feed from my blog so i was thinking to myself, self i could use the rss history feed from my hulu account to post my hulu history to my twitter account

this is the solution i came up with

1)


Login to Hulu and go to your profile then the history tab and get the link for your hulu history as rss

the url looks something like this:
http://www.hulu.com/feed/history/username

From hulu.com:


2)


This is the website that does all the work for you
Twitter Feed


Its called twitter feed all you have to do is use oauth to link twitter feed to your twitter account and paste in the rss link and your pretty much done you can change the settings to add a prefix see mine below
