Cross post to two blogs, and generate one twitter post, via email?

I have two posterous blogs, and occasionally want to post the same message to both. So far, so good...I just address my post email to both, i.e. post@mysite.posterous.com and post@myothersite.posyerous.com.

Now if I want the post tweeted as well (both blogs are connected to Twitter) I would think I would address the email as twitter@mysite.posterous.com and post@myothersite.posyerous.com )to get just one tweet.

Doesn’t work. I get no tweets. If I address the email to twitter@posterous.com and post@mysite.posterous.com I get two tweets,

I just want one tweet. Can I get there from here...or should I just send 2 emails?

Lawrence Linn started following the idea "General support for digg, tweetmeme, AddThis, and other scripts" in Posterous.

Lawrence Linn started following the problem "Snow Leopard Error" in Xmarks.

a better way to manage multiple blogs?

I now have three Posterous blogs (I love Posterous!), but I am wondering whether there is a better way to manage the three blogs.

I basically signed up for 3 separate accounts, for sake of argument call them work, home, and school. I post to each with a separate email address. If I want to 'cross-post' I have to send multiple, seperate emails.

It works OK, but occasionally I get unexpected results. If I am signed into my home blog, it's easy to wander off and start looking at the business blog. But then if I click the 'manage' link while looking at the business blog, it will actually take me back to managing the home blog.

So...long post short...is there a better way to manage 3 Posterous blogs/accounts than having 3 separate accounts?

A comment on the question "Can I change the order of posts after I post them?" in Posterous:

you're right, just took a while (10 minutes) for it to update the page sort order. Thanks, I'll be more patient next time! :-) – Lawrence Linn, on August 14, 2009 17:03

Can I change the order of posts after I post them?

I want to insert a post in my posterous blog dated two days ago (it just makes more sense in that context). I can add a new post and then edit the date/time stamp on it, but the date does not impact where in the blog the post shows up. The post will still show up as the most recent post no matter what date I assign.

Is there any way to 'pre-date' a post?

Add favicons to Safari bookmarks bar

It would be great if we could add favicons to the Safari bookmarks bar. I have many sites I could identify just by an icon and save space on my bookmarks bar. It's hard to find stuff when it's all the same gray text.

Ideally we could edit the favicons also for sites that don't have them and to bypass the continual performance problems with the favicon database.

Yes please. Do this and I'll buy it in a second.

Quote text in Ning forum replies? How to format? (maybe html?)

How can I add a quote from a previous message in a forum reply? (html code?)

Can members invite friends in a private network?

Do members automatically have the ability to invite others even on a private network? (that's what I want, it just isn't 'blindingly' obvious it is the case)
