TwitterFeed is a service which allows you to post your blog posts as tweets to twitter over a specified interval of time.

For the text you can choose between title and description, title only and description only. You also have a option to include the link to the blog post. In addition to that you can also prefix certain words before the blog entry. I have prefixed “From Techie Buzz” to every tweet that will be sent out using TwitterFeed.
