I post to Identica that posts to Twitter that posts to Facebook.

At home I mostly use Gwibber. I really like that it handles multiple accounts and allows me to easily select which one(s) I’m posting from.

On the road I use either:
* the identica webpage to post and I check replies in email, the Twitter/replies page and Facebook
* or Twidroid on my G1. I just discovered it does both Twitter and Identica but you have to manually switch accounts to see the replies in each. They are working on supporting multiple accounts …

[...] and micro-blogging sites, including all the above. The resulting flow of messages is best described here. I have also installed mobidentica, a light-weight Laconica/Identica client for Symbian S60, onto my [...]

Did you try ping.fm
Just register all your blogging/micro-blogging services there, and use their frontend to post your content to all those pages simultanously. It’s very straightforward and they provide tons of ways to post a blog (igoogle widget, email, their site, etc)

I don’t care about monitoring Facebook, and I’m more interested in receiving things in near realtime. So while I use things like Gwibber and the web interfaces to both Twitter and identi.ca, more often, I’m monitoring things inside of Gmail using GChat. Identi.ca has an option to monitor and post via IM, and while Twitter doesn’t, I use Friendfeed to monitor various twitter users I follow and that way I can get their posts in realtime through GChat too.

I posted about my setup a while ago: http://blog.rfquerin.org/2008/11/24/my-current-micromessaging-setup/

I’m still not completely happy with it. I think there is tons of room for client improvements.

Things start getting dramatic with FriendFeed, because you start over-thinking the possibilities. If you want to keep it simple, stay clear from FF… but I suggest trying it: it’s a nice way to aggregate feeds.

As Ross, I suggest you give a try to choqok.One cool thing with it — or at least something I like — is that when you click on a hashtag or a group, choqok automatically gives you the messages corresponding.

Of course, if you are using GNOME, you may no like it’s a KDE app (but maybe it can be compiled only against Qt).

As regards to the “groups” in identi.ca, a difference with the hashtags is that you have to subscribe to a group to be able to post in it; and when you subscribe to a group, you’ll receive all the messages with the !group.

I have the exact same setup, but I have no problems at all with Gwibber, using recent builds from PPA. My biggest issue is the lack of a client for Android that reads from both Facebook and Twitter/Identica. My tweets are automatically forwarded to Identica and Facebook, and it works fine both from Gwibber and Twidroid.

Thanks for the explanation regarding hashtags and groups.

Wow, that is lots worse. Is this what I have to look forward to if I keep going? :-)
