Every time I sent a picture to Posterous it was posted to Twitter twice; blaming bugs I logged a support request with Twitterfeed and there was no double entry in the database and no indication of what might be happening. Following their suggestion I investigated both accounts & it turns out that I’ve configured Twitterfeed to send to Twitter as well as Posterous itself, I’d forgotten it could do that (probably too much wine of an evening) but it simplifies the process & means one less account t manage.
So, Twitterfeed sussed it & lost a customer. Sorry guys.
Now I just need to find out why the weekly tweet summary is posted twice. Hmmm …

It seems that Smugmug & the Tweetie people can’t manage to get their systems to talk to each other properly, so I’ve been compromising by sending pictures to a ‘Tweets’ gallery with SmugShot and subsequently tweeting that from SmugMug. It works, but delays the moment (which is kind of the point) and is somehow ugly; dunno why. Twitterfeed fed the post automatically via RSS but was inconsistent.
So today Ive subscribed to Posterous (sorry, nothing I can do about the name) which kind of sits somewhere between blogging & tweeting and allows me to post easily via email. Twitterfeed seems much happier with this & in due course pumps out a tweet with the link and the post title in the text, so it behaves like Twitpic without the nastiness.
And as a bonus I can throw out a mini-blog if I feel like it for stuff that I don’t want to sit on the full blog.
So I’ve either solved a non-existent problem or just have a thing about forcing different web apps to behave themselves and talk to each other.

Finally managed to drag the kids out into the rain to find another geocache. We managed it but the iPhone ran out of juice before we could take a picture, & it turns out that Windows 7 doesn’t like the GPS. Such is life.
