Howto: Auto-Tweet Your Digg Submissions Once They Hit The Front Page
As most of you know, I am an avid Digger (rtaibah.) So yesterday, I thought how cool would it be if I could auto-tweet any Digg story I submit once it hit the home page. Unfortunately, Digg provides RSS feeds for users' submits only, but not popular stories submitted by users. Enter Yahoo Pipes!

First, you can use Digg's popular feed but if you use this feed, your tweets will lead to the Digg story on Digg. Instead, I grabbed the popular feed from Socialblade which links to the original story NOT Digg. Anyways you can use either.
Next head to Yahoo Pipes and if you don't have a Yahoo account get one (or dig up that one you haven't used for 7 years :)) Now here is the fun part:
Click on "Create Pipe" on the top right, the pipes editor will appear:
Here is the result:
