Microblogging Workflow
Hi all, I do most of the GNOME microblogging, but I often find it difficult to do it effectively. One reason for this is that there currently isn't a way to schedule a post. I'll often think of things that need posting at times when they won't get exposure, or I'll think of three different posts all at once. I really need a way to schedule microblogging posts. Our microblogging posts are currently published on Identi.ca. From there they are pushed to Twitter, and from Twitter to Facebook. I've been unable to find an Ident.ca client that allows scheduling (they do exist for Twitter). This leaves two options that I can see: 1. Change our workflow so that we publish posts on Twitter and push them to Identi.ca from there. Then use a Twitter client with scheduling capabilities. 2. Use the gnome.org Wordpress install to schedule microblogging posts and push them to Twitter. The second option seems nicer to me, because it gives us a common shared platform for publishing news. I'm imagining that we'd have to install a plugin and create a separate news category for microblogging. Potential downside: we clutter the Wordpress install with lots of microblogging guff. Thoughts? Opinions? Allan -- IRC: aday on irc.gnome.org Blog: http://afaikblog.wordpress.com/ -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

But it can't be terribly hard to implement something like 'sleep 24h identica my message' And there seem to be many options to do use Identica from the command line, i.e. http://blog.philippklaus.de/2011/06/communicate-with-the-identi-ca-api-using-python-via-tweepy/ So all it takes to schedule something is access to a machine that runs long enough, i.e. one of the GNOME servers. You could even do smth like ssh gnome nohup bash -c 'sleep 24h identica message' from your machine as a fire and forget approach.

The idea was: Google+ - Some RSS thing for G+ - Feedburner - Twitter But you could use this as well to go: RSS thing - Feedburner - Twitter not sure what kind of other things Feedburner allows -- Regards, Olav -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

Would it let me see which messages are queued up? One thing that I liked about the Wordpress idea is that it would let us collaborate in sending out microblogging posts. Contributors could log in and see what messages are in the queue, and they could add their own. People could even help to write posts weeks in advance.

Not automatically, but the poor man's option, again, would be to do smth like ps aux | grep identica or atq depending on which technology is about to be used.
