Buzz from Heidi Allen
hello Heidi I'm going to try sending this to my posterous to see what happens- although I can't remember if I have set up my posterous to autopost to twitter!

18 Feb Ves Dimov, M.D.: You may want to think of a "title" before you start the Buzz update. It will work OK then. See this example: http://www.google.com/buzz/110859855629071891085/Pv7ehAhJEPm/The-Complete-List-Children-s-Hospitals-Use-of
18 Feb Arin Basu: If you want to post selectively to twitter (ie, let some buzz posts show up in twitter), I recommend you use a service such as http://www.posterous.com . Using posterous, you can selectively email your buzz post to twitter, or another service if you like. Just forward your buzz to twitter at posterous.com (I assume you will create your posterous account from gmail). Hope this helps.
18 Feb Anne Marie Cunningham: that's a really good idea Arun:) I'm glad we have met! Ive tweeted your speed-litrevieinging idea
18 Feb Heidi Allen: Using buzz to with a title helps, but it still means they come out in batches which some people might regard as spam. also conversation on twitter is missed (but then you can converse in buzz so that point's a bit redundant) - except for those people not on buzz I have a posterous blog so not sure how I would post from buzz to posterous to twitter (!)
18 Feb Arin Basu: For buzz >> posterous >> twitter connection to work (corrected version), 1) you will need to post to posterous from your gmail account (presumably that has buzz on it).
2) You can just use posterous and simultaneously post to both buzz and twitter if your posterous account is also connected to buzz. To link your posterous account to buzz, do:
a) Add the following to the posterous "bio" section:
<a href="http://www.google.com/profile/" rel="me" >Your Name, etc
b) Then add your posterous URL to your google profile and click add
c) Next time when Google spiders your posterous account, hopefully it will add your posterous to your buzz profile and then you are all set
d) check your google buzz profile connected sites and add the posterous site if you want 3) There are a couple of ways to do that:
1) (long way): create a buzz post, then use the comments section to email the buzz post to twitter AT posterous dot com (remember again, your posterous and gmail must be the same)
2) Shorter way (if you have configured your twitter to connect to buzz as well): just send an email to twitter AT posterous dot com; the mail will appear at both buzz and twitter A point to remember is: using buzz@gmail.com will send only your subject line to buzz. There are many other ways to channel, pretty much using similar processes. These are quite flexible.
18 Feb Arin Basu: Hi @Anne Marie Cunningham, thank you for tweeting the blog post. :), I think it'd be useful if we could set up creating a mechanism of evidence based review over the cloud entirely.
18 Feb Heidi Allen: Thanks Arin. I'm going to have a go setting up posterous with buzz. here goes nothing.
04:26 Heidi Allen: well, having configured my posterous to buzz, when I went to buzz and tweet about campbell soup's neuromarketing (someone's got to) using twitter@posterous.com it set up a new posterous blog about it.
so that's not going to work!
07:16 Arin Basu: Sorry to learn that it didn't work for you, Heidi. I usually have no problem in posting to twitter through posterous, hence suggested the tweak. Apologies.
08:23 Heidi Allen: no apologies necessary at all ! I love the fact that we're all pitching in with suggestions - and get to meet some new people to boot.
experimenting in public is good so others learn. And more to the point, I appreciate that you were willing to share expertise.
I strongly suspect I'm doing something not quite right somewhere...
