Fresh content using Twitter/Blog feeds

[gailduncan]

I want to automate fresh content on the company website for each of our store (franchises) pages (around 200). One idea I've had is to have an area on the page that produces content based on either a twitter feed or a blog feed (or both) depending on what online marketing the individual store does.

My understanding is that if the text is short enough it wont be pulled up by Google for duplicate content but as long as it's not displayed using java or flash that Google should still index it as fresh content. It would also need to open up in a new tab to avoid navigating off the website.

What are your thoughts on this and do you have any suggestions on how it could it be implemented?

I did this with one of my sites in the past. The traffic were crappy and I eventually stop doing that.

Don't know what the website theme is, but could pulling questions and answers from Yahoo Answers be useful to you?

It's a printing company. Pulling from Yahoo answers is a good suggestion though I think it may pull up irrelevant questions such as screen printing, how to print screen, home printer problems, where to get t shirts printed etc.
