Switchabit

I’ve struggled with the best way to get my twitter activity on to this tumblog. At first, I used tumblr’s twitter integration to pull all of my twitters onto this page. I never liked that very much because I twitter a lot and it ended up overwhelming this page.

So I moved to the Twitter Digest that JoeLaz hacked up using Yahoo Pipes. It worked well but it gets truncated in the new Tumblr and worse, it’s a day late. By the time it ends up on Tumblr, it’s often irrelevant.

So when I heard about switchabit, the new service from betaworks, I thought “that’s what I need for twitter to tumblr”. And so I set up a switchabit called ##t. When I put ##t into my twitter update, it will be routed to tumblr. When I don’t. It won’t.

Sounds perfect. You’ll start seeing my twitter posts here (the ones I want here) with ##t at the end of them.
