Yes, the most important achievements for social media cross-posting would be for me:
1. Tagging post in a single place and show this tags in every social media you chose to post. As Tri Nguyen said Malaho does and Andrew said Spheric does. I ll try and will post my comments.
2. Tagging when you post from mail, without login anywhere. To do so you have to set all your services in one single place. You can choose to post the same thing in every social media. And you can send the same post to Twitter, Delicious, Slideshare, another blog and not to Facebook and Flickr, for example. http://posterous.com/autopost let you do so…without tagging everywhere. They said they will work on that. Ask for it if you are interested.

I wanted to go the other way: Delicious >> Twitter and found this:

Hey Hugh, at our company, Spheric.ca, we all post useful and important links to our @spheric twitter account. We also have a http://delicious.com/spheric account that we wanted to do like you, have our tweets show up in delicious. One of our team members David Chan (http://twitter.com/chandavid) wrote a simple php script to fix this issue for us. You can find out more at our blog, http://blogs.spheric.ca/

Please check it out and let us know if this what you are looking for. We have several more cool internal tools we are working on like this that I’m sure would help fill other voids.

Sorry, I meant the Mahalo Share extension. Did you actually try it? It’s the only thing I know that’ll give you the end-result that you want, if not the exact workflow that you desire.

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.

Try the Mahalo Follow extension for Firefox. When you use it to post a link to Mahalo, it lets you tag the content, describe it in 100 characters, and cross-post it to a few key web services. I typically post to Delicious and Twitter! The only problem? Recently I’ve had trouble getting it to post (perhaps some congestion at Mahalo’s end).

[...] is another area of significant interest. I wrote a while ago lamenting that Twitter has replaced del.icio.us for me as a place to archive interesting links. While Twitter does a good job of letting me share [...]

1. yes; I am also seeking a hack/tool that will address my usage desires, which I think is usually the base principle of design, right? to make useful things that help people do the things they want/need to do?

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 ;-)
