I don't wanna get too far off topic here, but how much control is there with Feedburner? Ie, can you specify a Tweet go to a specific forum, or even a specific thread? And am I assuming correctly, that any new Tweet simply starts it's own new thread?
It doesn't create topics on your forum. You use your RSS feeds and Feedburner (or other similar services) to promote new topics (and/or replies) on Twitter.
The added plus with using Feedburner is it will help get the new posts indexed in Google much faster and also show up in google's twitter search results.

Ahhh, I see! I had it backwards (unfortunately!)...I do the same thing manually now, never thought of automating it.
There is an RSS Content Creator over at UBBDev, I use it on UGN to syndicate news from CNN's Tech pages.
I took a peek...very interesting! Something else for me to find a use for! LOL!!
Question, though: is there a *tidy* way to post RSS info-->my forum, in a specific thread?
E.g., we have a big car show/event coming up... using my smartphone while at the event I had planned on posting info/pictures to our club's Twitter account, which will bounce it to our club's Facebook page also via RSS...it would be slick if the "RSS creator" could simply add it to an ongoing thread. Am I asking too much?

Well, the rss content creator takes an RSS/xml feed and posts the description as the content and the title as the subject
I should have said "RSS info-->my forum, into a continuous thread"...that is, all my Tweets from the "Supercar Reunion 13" go into a single "Supercar Reunion 13" thread.
I can't think of a way this could possibly work, because it has no way to pull the current thread info from you site for you to select...????
Easiest way would be to just throw up a temporary sub-forum and setup the RSS info from there.
