Hi Søren,

You can use http://brdcst.it/ to suck your planet's RSS feed into it,
then push it to Twitter. I'd suggest if you use Twitter post to it via
identi.ca so you don't have a single point of failure.

Both brdcst.it and status.net (which powers identi.ca) are free, open
source software too so you could set your own instances instead of
relying on third-party services which rely on non-free+SaaS only
(although using the hosted version works fine too).

Cheers,
