Getting All of this Social Media Stuff to Work Together

I'm having a bit of a conundrum, and my head is starting to spin.

I am using Twitterfeed to have these blog posts sent to Twitter, and it is working great. Nice, concise tweets with links to the blog post itself. It's even brought a little traffic my way.

I also want the exact same tweets to show up as my Facebook status, so my friends can know to come check out the blog too. This is getting to be a bit harder.

It's very easy to set it up so that all of your tweets also get sent as Facebook status updates. But the kicker is, I don't want all of my tweets to show up that way. I tweet too much (Shout from the Peanut Gallery: "We're going to have an intervention for you soon!") to do that, as I don't want to spam my friends. I only want selected tweets to go to Facebook.

There is a nice, new app called "Selective Twitter" on Facebook that will let you just post selected tweets to Facebook, by only posting tweets that end in "#fb" to your Facebook profile page. That would be wonderful, except that the twitterfeed posts automatically. I can't put the "#fb" hashmark at the end of the post.

Of course, in the process of writing this post, I decided to see if something could be done through Twitterfeed itself. Sure enough, you can put a suffix on each post. This should work well with Selective Twitter.

I'm not going to edit or delete this post. Instead, I'm going to use it as a test to see if this works. And as a warning to other that exploring all of your options before asking for help sometimes makes it so you don't have to ask in the first place.
