In other words, you’ll get: The shortened URL in Twitter, the full URL in Delicious; the “bit of text” you enter becomes your tweet that you share in Twitter, and your title in Delicious; you can add tags that end up in Delicious. Also, you needn’t abandon your regular Twitter posting tool: only use Mahalo Share when you want to share a link that goes both to Twitter and to Delicious.

It doesn’t support Identi.ca yet.

Of course, instead of posting to Twitter first and then cross posting to Delicious, like you want, you have to use the Mahalo Share tool which posts to Mahalo (I just ignore this) and also posts to Twitter and to Delicious simultaneously.

All that said, a programmer could write the tool that does what YOU’VE described, except a Tweet does not have any tags, does it? You’ll always have to add them at some point (Mahalo Share lets you add them at the front end). Also, to write to Delicious you’ll always need to give up your username/password.

2. no, i am whining about wanting to do both things at once. i am wishing to join those loose pieces. i want to archive my linked URLs in a structured way, without having to do everything twice.

3. i suspect you are the only person who (might) follow both my delicious & my twits. i use delicious more for myself; twitter more for friends. if that leads you to de-friend me in one or the other or both, then all the better for you if that’s a better use for you, of my online time.

to repeat, generally i’m using twitter to communicate and delicious to archive (for myself). I want to be able to do both at once, instead of having to do both separately. Is that so wrong? so the impulse on the delicious side has nothing to do with wanting to better “broadcast” myself in social networks, but only to better use (for myself) that which I am broadcasting.

and I think that’s where it ends.

I worry Boris, that you don’t understand how people wish to use these tools, because that’s not how you want to use them ;-)

2- you are whining about one service not doing the job of the other service, hence forgetting “small pieces loosely joined”

3- you are seeking to commit that most horrid social network act of cross posting your “content” across multiple services, effectively spamming all your friends, across contexts. (assuming, as many who don’t get it do, that if I follow your tweets I *must* want to see yur bookmarks and your blog posts and your presence information and your pictures and and and and… get a facebook account why don’t you? ;p

where does it end Hugh McGuire, where does it end?
