Twitpiccing at the zoo

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.
