Help with identifying RSS feeds in the Dashboard.
I have ten feeds going to various Twitter accounts, how do I identify which is which and where it goes when all I can see is things like "http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=..".
This is not relevant or descriptive of the content or the destination Twitter account.

Inappropriate?I just found the following feed goes to a different Twitter account from the one above and with different settings. What is the difference from looking at the RSS feed?

Inappropriate?Then there are feeds that all look like one of these:
http://search.twitter.com/search.atom...
http://blogs.myspace.com/Modules/Blog...
Which Twitter account? Which topic or subject is the feed on? The only way to find out is to look at the settings of every one.
Personally I would happily pay for a premium account if problems like those I've stated today are fixed. -
Inappropriate?Just found I can change the feed name. This is going to take a long time! Any chance it can be as easy as click on/off the title to change the name?
However, the only thing identifying the MySpace blog feeds is a random number, so I'll have to load up each feed in my RSS reader just to find out what it is. -
Inappropriate?Yes, we added the "feed name" feature exactly for this reason, as previously it only showed the feed URL and twitter account, and in cases like yours, where the feed URL may be very similar for different feeds, this wasn't very useful.
I'm not sure what else I can suggest though - once you name them, then they should be easily recognisable, but there is no easy way to auto-name them if the URLs are very similar.

Inappropriate?Thanks Mario, I think you've done a great job with the changes to Twitterfeed following your well deserved investment. Maybe you should charge variable rates depending on the number of feeds.
I have named them now and it's all fine, however a good improvement is to enable renaming my clicking on the title, I think you can do this using AJAX although I've not seen it many times.
I’m thankful

Good point, yes, I'll put this on the list of potential UI changes/improvements.
