I would just like to take a moment to give The Cypress Gang a big 'Good Job' on his efforts in relation to RantRave. There has been an explosion of posts and comments and new users. Good work on the twitter feeds, FaceBook feeds and other efforts. Setting up that automatic feed is no small task, I thank you for the effort.

While we have had our moments, I feel it is important to give credit when its due. You have done a fantastic job reinvigorating the site. Hopefully the new users will help to bring even more attention to the community. This is getting very exciting to see new users joining and posting new (quality) articles.

I am hoping that with continued efforts RantRave will continue to grow into a strong community and a place to have good discussion a various issues. I am hoping to make more time to write more articles as well.

Welcome to all the new users. I hope you enjoy being here. I look forward to some lively debate with everyone.

Here is to what will hopefully be a fun and prosperous 2012.

Once again, Well Done TCG!!!

On a side note: If you want to send me a PM on how to set up twitter I would be willing to try and get it going on mine too (as I have said I only use to follow a select group of people at the moment).

...lots of new life and inspiration!
Now can we all get in a circle, hold hands and sing Kumbaya? !:]
4 months ago: I'll just say thanks and your welcome. As Truthbrary said, DrDarko is helping with his "The Daily Rant & Rave". FB is having a problem. It is not a feed issue on FB.
4 months ago: TCG rocks!

TCG brought up entire site to a whole new level. The number of views, users, posts and comments is going through the roof.

All I can say is Thank You Very Much TCG for a job well done. Nobody could do so much for this site as you did.
4 months ago: Oh yes, and thanks to TCG's efforts with customizing RSS feed, The Daily Rant & Rave looks perfect now!

4 months ago: If the rate of new posts continue to increase just add the 2nd spotter to The Daily Rant and Rave. I'll send you the address via Twitter - Good job DrD!
4 months ago: The Daily just updated. It is not posting all of the pics. Is it needing a RSS tweak?
4 months ago: PH? Did you get the instructions? Let me know... Baby steps...

Get that one working and I'll give you more.
4 months ago: Good to see you guys working together... just like the UFC... smash each other in the face, and then give big hugs at the end! That's good sportsmanship !:]
4 months ago: Not to worry Bro. I have a task or two for you in the near future.

Are you Ready to Rumble?
4 months ago: Bring it [:?
4 months ago: Not to worry Bro. There is plenty to go around. DrD has the "Daily", Ph now has the secondary twitter. How is your Linkedin working?
4 months ago: Linkedin? ...didn't know until I just looked it up, there is a bunch I could learn!
4 months ago: Would you rather tackle FB if I can't get past their bogus security check in the next 24 hours?
4 months ago: IF it doesn't work for you, let me know what's all intailed.

4 months ago: I have not received any instructions yet. Did you send them via RantRave or Twitter?

4 months ago: As it turns out, I did get the instructions. My rantrave author messages were still tagged as spam...got that resolved. I will get started on this sometime during the week. Thanks for the help.
4 months ago: PH. Are you having issues with the instructions? I tried to make the simple. Need help setting it up? It really should only take about 30 minutes at most. After that you just let the automation take over...

4 months ago: I just got it all set up. I was a little busy with work last week. I created a separate twitter for my rantrave feed:

https://twitter.com/#!/PHRantRave

I was curious though, how long does it take for it to tweet the back log? or do I need to create separate feed things for each of the RSS feeds?
4 months ago: Not sure if I understand your question... so far I see 5 tweets with # 6 due any minute....

Find a good graphic for your avatar.

4 months ago: Will it go back and tweet all the existing articles or will it just go from now forward?

I need to find a good picture still looking...
4 months ago: Please find a avatar for the new account. Nobody will follow the default TwitterEgg.
4 months ago: My bad (on the avatar)... If you set it to read using GUID it will tweet everything in the RSS and will start tweeting all new articles that are posted.

4 months ago: I did set it to the GUID, but it has only posted the new articles, which is fine, I was just curious as to how you got yours to tweet all of them.
4 months ago: You only have a single RSS feed. It updates every 6 hours and will post anything new it finds. I am using 19 different feeds. They all target different groups for the most part. I set them up to post to different hashtags depending on the RantRave category.....

i.e. - Science & Technology - is targeted to those that might follow related hashtags....

4 months ago: So how do I get the rest of the feeds set up?
4 months ago: I sent you a PM in twitter. You want to add another feed? Look at the address to the feed your usning and change the 1 to a 2 in the file name. It will be page 2 of all categories. I see you have been getting followers.
4 months ago: For those interested... here is a list of all twitter hashtags the feeds hit...
