How to aggregate multiple users into one collaborative twitter?
So I'm trying to do something that I think should be fairly simple, but I'm a twitter newb. Help me out here.
I'm making a community fiction twitter. The way I visualize it, it should work like this:
1) Individual contributors text stories to their own twitters.
2) A collaborative twitter collects those (somehow, here's where I'm missing a step).
3) Everyone just follows THAT twitter, and thus gets all stories the others contribute.
I don't just want everyone posting stories on their own twitters, because that'll make it tricky to add more users farther along. Twitterfeed doesn't seem designed for this, nor does GroupTweet (don't like the extra texts needed), and those are all I could find in the database here. Any thoughts?

Inappropriate?Can't you just have one twitter account set to follow the authors' twitter accounts?1 Comment

Ok, so that gives the collective twitter a copy of everyone's stories. But how do WE all get those as texts back to our own phones? It seems to only make the stories visible from the main collective twitter; we want to get each other's stories throughout the day. -
Inappropriate?Ah, I see. My solution would only work if you're viewing it online. (Sorry, I'm not using a mobile device yet for twitter.)
What if if the authors prefaced all their twitters with the @username for the main account, so that they all showed up as "in reply to" so-and-so. If their accounts are set to display "all @replies" would each author then receive the replies on their mobile devices?

(man, my reply was convoluted. hopefully i'm making sense.)

Inappropriate?If you're all able or willing to send updates by email, you could create a http://Twittermail.com account for the shared account.
Twittermail will assign a single email address to that account and anything emailed to that email address gets posted in the shared Twitter account. -
Inappropriate?I would actually like a link on a website with which you can add multiple twitter users at once...would such a thing be possible?
I’m in doubt...

Inappropriate?kingjay, you can get a Twitter Group at http://twittergroups.co.uk
Its bascially a wordpress blog where you can create one Twitter Group blog, and add multiple users to it.
Any blog posts by any user will get posted to a single Twitter account that you can specify. It also works in reverse ie Tweets get converted into blog posts.

Inappropriate?You might want to have a look at Collabtweet which enables multiple users to post to a single collaborative twitter account.
