Is posting blog updates to Twitter considered a doorway?

Some websites use their Twitter account as an RSS like service for every article they post. Is that ok or would it be considered a doorway? Adel Saoud, Dublin, Ireland

I thoroughly enjoyed your video. It was like an eye-opener for me as I did not know some of the basic fact you unveiled thanks. Apart from this I would like to ask if you provide more videos.

Hello Matt,

If this method is ok, consider if one has for instance 5 websites and want to mention on each of them particular nice offers ( spread by a php script), placed on one of them; and to prevent acting as a linkfarm a nofollow is placed on all links.

Would that be also acceptable ?

Hey Matt,

This seems like it should be common sense to me, but I can understand that some would be concernd, so I appreciate the clarification. Now the real question: When does auto-posting to Google+ roll out?

We can all autopost from our Wordpress blogs to Twitter using Twitter Tools and to Facebook using Simple Facebook Connect... but I've not seen any way to do this with Google+ yet...
