loudtwitter by email

[ephemera]

I'm planning on running my main DW and main LJ accounts in parallel, at least for a few months.
I'd like to get my agrigated twitters to show up on both journals.


At the moment I'm using LoudTwitter to post to my LJ via email (and using email posting to post to both sites as my 'client' of choice.

Plan one
- give LoudTwitter both post@LJ and post@DW addresses
No dice - LoudTwitter won't take multiple email addresses

Plan two
- give LoudTwitter my gmail address, and set up a gmail filter to send the email on to both post@LJ and post@DW addresses
No dice - Gmail filters apparently won't take multiple email addresses for a single filter.

Plan three
- give LoudTwitter my gmail address, and set up two gmail filters, one sorting on the first line of my LoudTwitter template, the other sorting on the second line of my LoudTwitter template.

Does anyone have any idea if that's likely to work, or am I setting myself up for disappointment?

No dice - email posting doesn't like forwarded email, either here or on LJ.

Plan four - create a second Loudtwitter account using my DW OpenID, and have one sending to LJ and one sending to DW. Clunky, but working.

[NB conversations about how much you don't want to see LoudTwitter posts on your flist not really appreciated - I run mine under a cut tag and on an opt-in access filter, at which point I figure the fact that I want a record of that content is hurting no one, and it's of interest to some folks.]

Loudtwitter supports OpenID accounts.

Set up a different account with your Dreamwidth OpenID.

Also, for those wanting to remove it completely from their friends page:

I'll update the DW entry to point to the right place on this site.

That is, in the end, what I did - it's a little clunky, but it works.

Couldn't you redirect it to post to DW, and set your DW up to cross post to LJ?

[ephemera]

crossposting only works when you post through the web interface and not when you post by email, unfortunately.

You know how on LJ, you can set it up where it can be

lj icon: twitter
lj security: twitter (custiom friends group)
lj tags: twitter


Anyway to do that for DW?

[ephemera]

those exact same codes work on DW as well as LJ.
