Posting from Jaiku to Twitter (and vice versa)

If you’re a recent convert to the microblogging fad you may have accounts on both Jaiku and Twitter. It’s convenient to have one service as your primary publishing interface, and to push the updates to the other.

If you prefer Twitter as your primary interface for writing, you can easily import the RSS into Jaiku. Your tweets will be echoed in Jaiku automatically. Just add the Twitter feed in the “Web feeds” section. You can also subscribe to your blog and to Flickr, for example.

If you want to use Jaiku, you will have to use a third-party app called Twitterfeed. Jim has a good writeup here.

Here are my settings:

  • Include… title only, check the “include item link” checkbox
  • Prefix each tweet with : “jaiku: “

Now, each time I post a jaiku, a tweet should be echoed to Twitter (unless it’s down of course.)
