I am trying to post content to my Twitter account via RSS Feed from Googlealert but can't retrieve the RSS Feed URL from Googlealert if I have more than one alert posted to more than one Twitter account. How do I retrieve the RSS Feed URL from Googlealert if I need to post it to more than one Twitter account?

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking but to get your feed address you should be able to go to http://feedburner.google.com

Thanks for offerring to help me with my RSS Feed URL/Googlealert issues.

Let me try to clarify my problem. When I set up a Googlealert for the first time, I am able to access the RSS Feed URL but when I set up subsequent Googlealerts, I'm not able to access the RSS Feed URL.

I'm not sure if this is a Googlealert issue or if I'm not following the right steps to access the RSS Feed URL I need.

Let's say I set up my first googlealert for a specific search term (ex.online marketing). When I click on the Feed icon for the first googlealert, I can see the RSS Feed URL, copy it, and paste it to my RSS Feeder.

If I set up a second googlealert for a second search term (ex. dating advice) , when I click on the Feed icon for the second googlealert, I can't see the RSS Feed URL for the second search term (and can't copy and paste it to my RSS Feeder).

Thanks.

Hi,

I do understand what you are saying. You can approach this in a couple of ways. You can right click on the feed in the left hand column and look at the properties - that will give you the long url.

You can click on the feed in the left hand column to bring it up in the main window; once there, you can click anywhere on the feed title at the top of the window. This will open the RSS feed in Goggle and you can copy the url of the feed in the address bar.

Hope that helps!

Corinne
