Filtering RSS Feeds

by MayorOfTheParty

I'm using twitterfeed.com to automatically publish articles from various RSS feeds onto my twitter account.

The problem is that there are certain feeds where I only want to publish *some* of the articles, not all.

Is there a tool out there to filter an RSS feed so all articles require my approval before being published?

Thanks!

    I can think of a round-about way. Publish the rss feeds to a wordpress blog using a plugin, then get another plugin that automatically tweets blog posts. The plugin for the rss feeds should give you the option of reviewing/approving posts before they are published, thereby indirectly giving you control over what gets tweeted.

    My Scrubz Tuel is a Win desktop program that does exactly that. You add RSS pheeds, select the items you want, Scrubz then publishes the results as another RSS pheed. This is the pheed want to enter into twitfeed.

    It's called "Scrubz" because it cleans RSS pheeds...

    The free version allows for one project:

    Thanks for the replies, guys!

    I went with the Wordpress idea because I'm in Linux and Tuelz wasn't playing nice with Wine.

    Right now I'm using twitterfeed.com + Wordpress. Twitterfeed is not publishing every hour though... I'm wondering why. I have tried setting the Post Sorting to both "GUID" and "pubDate" but it only posts one item to twitter then stops. Are there any alternatives to twitterfeed?
